Dear colleagues

I am sharing the youtube link of a unique historic video: https://youtu.be/oS2cyqU3tyg

(I found the 2006 CD recently in my files and had it converted)

It features a two-part event. First, Amartya Sen and Justice Leila Seth launch Capabilities, Freedom and Equality (Oxford University Press, 2006) edited by Bina Agarwal, Jane Humphries and Ingrid Robeyns, with a foreword by Diana Strassmann.

This is followed by a wide-ranging debate between Amartya Sen and Martha Nussbaum that I moderated, on key concepts of political philosophy and development, including capabilities, freedom, participative democracy, gender equality, law, human rights and social justice. The video captures an exceptional event held in 2006 at Delhi’s India International Centre and attended by an overflowing audience of ambassadors, politicians, academics and activists.

I hope you will enjoy the conversation which, you will find, is still of great contemporary relevance.

Best wishes,

Bina
