Wiener Conference Calls

Wiener Conference Calls featured Harvard Kennedy School faculty members sharing their expertise and responding to callers’ questions. The new webinar series Policy Spotlight: Insights from Faculty, launched in 2026, continues the dynamic legacy of the Wiener Conference Calls. We are grateful to the Malcolm Hewitt Wiener Foundation for supporting both of these series.
