A fellowship year at Harvard Radcliffe Institute provides an opportunity to step away from usual routines and dive deeply into a project in a uniquely interdisciplinary and creative community. Radcliffe supports engaged scholarship, through which fellows develop new tools and methods, challenge artistic and scholarly conventions, and shed light on our past and our present.

Radcliffe fellows are in residence for nine months from September 1, 2027, through May 31, 2028. Fellows are expected to be free of their regular commitments to fully devote themselves to their project and engage with members of the fellowship cohort. Each fellow receives a private office space, access to Harvard's research facilities and libraries, and professional development workshops throughout the year.
