Through a series of workshops, conferences, and fellowships, the Clayman Institute will bring together an intellectually diverse group of scholars to provide new insights into the barriers to women's advancement and to propose novel and workable solutions to advancing gender equality.
Programs at the Institute
Lecture Series
The Clayman Institute offers an annual competitive lecture named in honor of Jing Lyman. The Jing Lyman Lecture Series recognizes women trailblazers who contribute significantly to gender equality over their lifetime. The inaugural lecture will take place in early 2011.
Research Studies
