Bunting Institute

The Bunting Institute was a fellowship program established in 1972 at Harvard University, aimed at supporting women scholars and leaders. It provided resources, funding, and a collaborative community to help women pursue advanced research, academic careers, and leadership roles across various fields. The institute recognized the barriers women faced in academia and professional areas, working to promote gender equality and female empowerment through its programs. It operated until 1996, when it was absorbed into Harvard’s broader initiatives, continuing its mission to foster the development of talented women.
