As the Occupy Movement spread across the United States this fall, we here at Outside the Neatline documented some of the geospatially-related web content that was created in response to the protests. Recently, I came across an excellent geographic examination of the protests in a two part post on the Regional Geogblog<\/a>\u00a0entitled Geographies of Protest and Occupation: From Manama, Bahrain to Richmond, Virginia<\/a>. The blog is maintained by Professor Donald Rallis<\/a> from the Geography Department at the University of Mary Washington<\/a>\u00a0(my Alma mater!). In Part 1<\/a>, Professor Rallis discusses the significance of occupation of a place as a form of protest in addition to the events of the Arab Spring in Bahrain while in Part 2<\/a> he focuses specifically on the Occupy Movement in the United States.<\/p>\n
