Talk:Elinor Ostrom

message: As Elinor Ostrom is primarily notable as scholar, an her life is
inextricable woven with her intellectual work, large part of the
article ought to be organized around the areas of study that she
undertook, why she was interested in them, and the theories that
should be developed. This article should not seek to explain all of
her theories in depth.  Specific articles about the ideas are for
that. The quality of this article of course depends on the quality of
related articles.
I think this article should be organized chronologically so as to
present Ostrom's overall intellectual and personal development over
time.  Theories should be well summarized but interleaved with the
texts. Ostrom's later work is more about the synthesis of theory but
she also has lots of empirical work e.g. about Watersheds, police
departments and so on. The article should present this stuff too.
Here's a brief outline (in progress).

message: It has also been anounced (see http://info.uu.se/press.nsf/pm/uppsala.universitets.id55D.html) 
that Ostrom will receive a honorary doctor's degree from Uppsala University in the memory of Carl von Linné, in spring of 2007. PJ 10:54, 5 February 2007 (UTC)

message: If she's a member of the Chicago School, and she's won a Nobel Prize (which she just did today), shouldn't she be significant enough to have a link to her profile in the box for Chicago School Economists? Orpheus42 (talk) 11:35, 12 October 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: Chicago

message: There is nothing at all about her background, where she was born, where she went to school until college. 
Also, I'm a bit curious how a political scientist and a scholar whose main notoriety has been the study of diversity, wins the Nobel prize for economics. Perhaps, someone could explain. . —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.61.133.254 (talk) 18:03, 12 October 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: Background

message: The section on climate change is premature, it consists mostly of the two speculative sentences, "Elinor Ostrom's work may help fight climate change. Her work exploring how people come together to preserve their collective resources may provide important clues in addressing global warming." While the speculation is referenced, it's still speculation.
Has any major part of Ostrom's work been focused on climate change? That would merit a section. (I know she has an interest, for instance, she was one of the signers of this letter to Science, but is there more to it than that?) CRETOG8(t/c) 18:03, 15 October 2009 (UTC)

thread_title:  Maiden name? 

message: In the 'personal life and education section', there is missing information regarding Elinor Ostrom's rejection for an economics PHD: As a high school student, Elinor Ostrom had been discouraged from studying Trigonometry, as girls without top marks in Algebra and Geometry were not allowed to take the subject. She was consequently rejected for an economics PhD at UCLAhttps://www.ubs.com/microsites/nobel-perspectives/en/elinor-ostrom.html  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Whileworth (talk • contribs) 10:29, 16 May 2016 (UTC)
