Gray/Wawro Lectures in Gender, Health, and Well-being

Through the generous support of Melanie Gray and Mark Wawro, this lecture series recognizes health as a matter of physical and social wellbeing and highlights gender as a key factor determining opportunity and quality of life. Each lecture brings to Houston a leading scholar whose work inspires deeper understanding of the gender features underlying urgent health concerns and fosters public conversation that can prompt informed action toward a more just world. Inaugurated in the 2010-2011 academic year as a three year project, CSWGS is honored that Melanie Gray and Mark Wawro extended their generosity through 2019.
