Harvard Radcliffe Institute Fellowship

Harvard Radcliffe Institute proudly announces its 26th class of fellows, who will pursue an array of projects that advance bold new thinking across disciplines. Coveted yearlong Radcliffe fellowships provide a rare opportunity to pursue ambitious projects in the unique environment of an interdisciplinary institute for advanced study within Harvard University. Each fellowship cohort draws leading scholars in the humanities, sciences, social sciences, and arts—along with writers, journalists, playwrights, and other distinguished professionals. Radcliffe received 1,677 applications for roughly 50 fellowship slots. Watch Jen Bervin's Radcliffe talk here.
