A Radcliffe fellowship offers the chance to take a break from daily activities and focus intently on a topic. With access to Harvard’s unmatched resources, Radcliffe fellows create novel tools and techniques, question accepted ideas in the arts and sciences, and shed light on the past and present.
Focus Regions
- They are open to suggestions that are pertinent to the Institute’s areas of interest, which include:
- They seek proposals that concentrate on women, gender, and society or make use of the extensive Schlesinger Library resources because they reflect Radcliffe’s distinctive history and institutional legacy.
- Climate change and its effects on people, particularly initiatives that deal with the disproportionate effects of the climate catastrophe on underserved or marginalised populations.
- the effects of slavery
- The Radcliffe fellowship is known for its interdisciplinary exchange. They seek suggestions that engage with thoughts and ideas that transcend disciplinary boundaries in order to benefit from the community’s distinctive diversity.
Fellowship Information
- The compensation for fellows is $78,000, plus an extra $5,000 for project costs.
- In addition to receiving office or studio space in Byerly Hall on Radcliffe Yard and full-time appointments to Harvard as visiting fellows, fellows also have access to the university’s academic resources, housing options, and recreational amenities.
- Fellows will pay the hourly wages of any Harvard undergraduate students they choose to hire as Research Partners. Fellows are also given many opportunities for professional growth throughout the fellowship programme.
The fellowship is available from September 2024 until May 2025.
