John T. Dunlop Lecture
Honoring the legacy of John T. Dunlop, a visionary in labor economics, public service, and housing policy
History
The Center's annual John T. Dunlop Lecture honors a labor economist who played a central role in the creation of the Harvard Joint Center for Housing Studies and its Policy Advisory Board, which supports housing research at Harvard.
A longtime member of the Harvard faculty, Dunlop was dean of the Faculty of Arts and Sciences from 1969 to 1973, served as US Secretary of Labor in the Ford administration, and worked for every US president from Franklin D. Roosevelt to Bill Clinton. He was also a mediator in numerous labor-management disputes, where he was known for developing innovative, multi-party agreements.
