rapidly changing the way we think about money. Digital payment has been slow to
take off in the United States but is displacing cash in countries as diverse as
China, Kenya, and Sweden. In this talk Sibel Kusimba will discuss her
book <i>Reimagining Money.</i> The rise of M-Pesa has changed the
economic and social landscape, allowing users to create webs of relationships
as they exchange, pool, borrow, lend, and share digital money in user-built
networks. These networks, Kusimba argues, will shape the future of financial
technologies and their impact on poverty, inclusion, and empowerment. In this
talk she will describe how urban and transnational migrants maintain a presence
in rural areas through money gifts; how families use crowdfunding software to
assemble donations for emergency medical care; and how new financial groups
invest in real estate and fund weddings.  The negative impact of these new
imperatives and costs will also be discussed.</span><span style="font-family:Calibri,sans-serif"></span></p>
