Deadline: 8-Sep-22
The Harvard Radcliffe Institute Fellowship Program is now open for applications.
The Radcliffe Fellowship Program awards 50 fellowships each academic year. Applicants may apply as individuals or in a group of two to three people working on the same project. They seek diversity along many dimensions, including discipline, career stage, race and ethnicity, country of origin, gender and sexual orientation, and ideological perspective. Although their fellows come from many different backgrounds, they are united by their demonstrated excellence, collegiality, and creativity.
They welcome applications from a broad range of fields and perspectives. The strength of their fellowship program is its diversity.
Focus Areas
They welcome proposals relevant to the Institute’s focus areas, which include:
- Law, education, and justice
- Climate change and its human impacts, especially projects that address the disproportionate impacts of the climate crisis on marginalized or under-resourced communities
- Legacies of slavery
- Reflecting Radcliffe’s unique history and institutional legacy, they welcome proposals that focus on women, gender, and society or draw on the Schlesinger Library’s rich collections.
- Interdisciplinary exchange is a hallmark of the Radcliffe Fellowship, and they welcome proposals that take advantage of their uniquely diverse intellectual community by engaging with concepts and ideas that cross disciplinary boundaries.
Funding Information
Fellows receive a stipend of $78,000 plus an additional $5,000 to cover project expenses.
