The University of Amsterdam (UvA) will award honorary doctorates to refugee law expert James Hathaway, cultural sociologist Michèle Lamont and Aids advocate Peter van Rooijen.
Hathaway will receive a doctorate for his original and influential contribution to the development of international refugee law and its practical application. Lamont is being recognised for her important theoretical and empirical contribution to the social sciences, particularly cultural sociology, and her important role in linking American and European social sciences. Van Rooijen will receive a doctorate for his achievements in the national and international fight against Aids and for his commitment to better universal healthcare. The honorary doctorates will be presented during the UvA’s Dies Natalis (anniversary) on 9 January 2017. The Dies forms the start of a lustrum year in which the UvA celebrates its 385th birthday.
