Amartya Sen

Identity and Violence: The Illusion of Destiny

Wednesday, April 26, 2006
8:00 AM – 9:15 AM

Amartya Sen, 1998 Winner of the Noble Prize in Economics, will examine the much-misunderstood concept of identity and shatter such stereotypes as “the monolithic Middle East” and the “Western Mind.”

He writes that although the world may be more driven by murderous violence than ever before, the brutalities are driven as much by confusion as by inescapable hatred.
