Through the generosity of our supporters, we have two distinguished lecture series.
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 well-being and highlights gender as a key factor in determining opportunities and quality of life. The series brings to Houston leading scholars whose work inspires deeper understanding of the gender issues underlying urgent health concerns, bridges academic and public conversations, and prompts 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 have extended their generosity through 2026.
Marian Fox Martel Distinguished Lectures in Gender and Science
This occasional series brings senior scholars to Houston to address timely topics in scientific research. Inaugurated in 2008, these lectures promote dialogue between scientific and lay communities while fostering critical understanding of gender as profoundly implicated in scientific research.
