FOA-Radcliffe
Institute - Fellowship Program; September 10 or October 1,
2020
Description:
The
Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Study at Harvard University is dedicated to
creating and sharing transformative ideas across the arts, humanities,
sciences, and social sciences. To that end, it welcomes applications for its
2021-22 Radcliffe Institute Fellowship Program. Each year, the program makes
grants to fifty exceptional scientists, writers, scholars, public
intellectuals, and artists whose work is making a difference in their
professional fields and in larger world.
Fellows receive a stipend of $78,000, an additional $5,000 to cover project
expenses, and an opportunity to step away from usual routines and dive deeply
into a project. The fellowship runs from September 2021 through May 2022. In
addition, during the fellowship year, fellows convene regularly to share their
progress. Fellows are expected to reside in the greater Boston area for the
duration of their fellowship and may be eligible to receive additional funds for
moving expenses, childcare, and housing to aid them in making a smooth
transition. Healthcare options are made available as
needed.
While
not exclusive, the following projects are of interest to the institute:
applications from scholars, artists, and practitioners for work that confronts
pressing social and policy issues and seeks to engage audiences beyond
academia; proposals relevant to the institute’s focus areas, which include law,
education, and justice; youth leadership and civic engagement; and legacies of
slavery. Projects may also focus on women, gender, and society, or draw on the
rich collections of the Schlesinger Library.
