This lecture series was established in 2001 under the auspices of the Center for Studies in Higher Education on the Berkeley campus. The Clark Kerr Lectures series honors Clark Kerr, president of the University of California from 1958 to 1967 and long recognized as one of the great leaders of American higher education in the twentieth century. The Lectures provide a forum for analysis and reflection about the forces shaping universities and the complex roles they play in modern society. Recipients of the honor are selected once every two years and are sponsored by Center for Studies in Higher Education.
This section collects publications from previous Clark Kerr Lectures.
