Claire Lehmann (born 18 July 1985) is an Australian writer and the founding editor of Quillette.

Personal life

Lehmann is the daughter of an artist and a child-care worker who grew up in Adelaide, South Australia[2] and is the daughter-in-law of the poet Geoffrey Lehmann.[3] She graduated with a bachelor's degree in psychology and English from the University of Adelaide with first class honours in 2010 and was a graduate student in psychology, but dropped out after having a child. She is married and has two children.[4]

Career

Lehmann, a former Rebel Media contributor, founded Quillette in October 2015,[5][6] with the goal of publishing intellectually rigorous material that makes arguments or presents data not in keeping with the contemporary intellectual consensus.[2][5][7][8][9] According to the national newspaper The Australian, Lehmann's choice to publish "a story about the sacking of Google engineer James Damore, who had written an internal memo criticising the company’s push for diversity and what he called 'an ideological echo chamber'" precipitated her venture's success.[6][10][11][12][13] Her website was temporarily shut down by a DDoS attack following publication of the piece.[14][15]

Lehmann has contributed to a variety of publications, including The Guardian; Harvard Kennedy School Review; in Spanish for Tercera Cultura;[16][17][18] Scientific American;[19] Commentary;[20] Rebel Australia, part of the Canadian Rebel Media network;[21] the American Jewish online magazine Tablet;[22] and ABC News (Australia).[23]

Bari Weiss regards Lehmann as one of the leaders of the "intellectual dark web", a group of intellectuals who are "determined to resist parroting what’s politically convenient".[8][24][25][26][27][2] The Sydney Morning Herald named Lehmann in their "Ten Aussies who shook the world in tech and media in 2018".[28]
