FAQs
Cora Preston, Network Manager, Robert & Patricia Switzer Foundation
Clara Fang is a 2021 Switzer Fellow. She presented her research to the Switzer Network and invited network members to her dissertation defense. Having attended these two talks, I can attest that Clara is an insightful and confident presenter. She draws the audience in with her honesty, clear communication style and engaging graphics. Clara also attracted the biggest audience to a Switzer Network event that we have had in my entire time on staff, thanks to her relevant and important presentation topics and well-networked community. She is also very organized and a pleasure to work with on the planning side of things. I highly recommend working with Clara or attending a talk by her if given the opportunity, and I look forward to future chances to learn from her important work.
Brett Cease, Vice President of Programs, Citizens’ Climate Lobby
Dr. Clara Fang is a long-time colleague and friend of mine whose engaging presence is always full of insight and energy for how we can further expand the climate movement to include all people. Her passion for the intersections of diversity, equity and inclusion within the larger climate movement is incredibly well-researched, accessible and essential for all climate organizations interested in understanding how they can play a role in broadening the banner of who they engage and how to challenge themselves to be more intentional in incorporating DEI practices into their programs, leadership, and advocacy.

As Co-Chair of GLT’s Membership Committee, Dr. Fang serves as a network builder, bringing new members to the community; helping us expand not just our numbers but our collective impact through timely advocacy and communications.
