Farhana Sultana, associate professor of geography and the environment, was interviewed for the MIT Technology Review article, "What does progress mean to you?" "Progress is often measured as economic growth only. But real progress would involve growth that doesn't externalize social or environmental costs," says Sultana. "Progress must be measured by how well those at the bottom are doing, not only those at the top," she says.
