Harvard Law School Professor Joins Brazilian Government
A well-known professor at Harvard Law School has taken a leave of absence to join the government of Brazil’s president, Luiz Inácio Lula de Silva.
Roberto M. Unger, a Brazilian by birth, officially assumed the title of Secretary of Long Term Planning last week, The Harvard Crimson reports.
