HSPH Adjunct Professor
Sen Wins Nobel Prize in Economics
Amartya Sen, adjunct professor in the Department of Population
and International Health, was awarded the 1998 Nobel
Prize in economics for his work on human rights, poverty, and famine.
In addition to his HSPH appointment, Sen is also the Lamont University Professor Emeritus at Harvard and is master of Trinity College in Cambridge, England.
Sen's work on the causes of famine has shown that disastrous
famines are not simply the consequence of nature, but are also avoidable
economic and political catastrophes.
Amartya Sen, adjunct professor
in the Department of Population and International Health,
joins Thomas Weller and Bernard Lown in the ranks of
HSPH-affiliated Nobel Prize recipients.
