(2011年湖南省教育考试院调研考试)
A political scientist from Indiana University whose work exploring how people come together to preserve their collective resources may provide important clues in the fight against climate change has become the first woman to win the Nobel Prize for economics.
Elinor Ostrom, 76, shares 2009 Nobel Prize with fellow American academic Oliver Williamson, 77. The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences announced to the world the pair had been chosen to win the 40th prize in economic sciences.
For Ostrom, the award came, as a “big surprise”. To rise to the peak of her area of learning has been a big journey, as she has had to struggle against her own weaknesses and the barriers of the system. At school in Los Angeles, she suffered from stuttering(口吃). She also faced the barriers common to most women of her generation entering the sciences — she was discouraged from taking a PhD when she applied for graduate school.
Her field of study has been striking for how crossdisciplinary it is. Early on she gained a reputation for bringing economics, political science and sociology together.
