CROP Fellows

CROP fellows are ambassadors of the Programme, and constitute a core resource group of committed scholars and/or activists who lend ideas, help promote the CROP network, lead strategic initiatives in thematic working groups and serve in programme committees for CROP workshops. CROP fellows are welcomed to suggest new partners for CROP and/or new thematic initiatives they want CROP to engage in.

CROP Fellows are appointed by the ISSC Executive committee among scholars who have excelled in poverty research or on activism to eradicate poverty.

News from CROP Net

Member of CROP Scientific Committee Julio Boltvinik is writing a weekly column "Economía Moral" in the Mexican newspaper La Jornada.

The concept of human security offers a new approach to the challenges of climate change, and the responses that could lead to a more equitable and sustainable future.

In this new CROP Poverty Brief, Prof. Thomas Pogge writes that while we are congratulating ourselves on how successful we all are in the fight against poverty, the FAO reported in 2009 that the number of chronically undernourished people has broken above 1 billion for the first time in human history.
