Between 40 and 45 women come each year to the Bunting Institute as fellows, pursuing projects often involving academic research, public policy work, writing or art.
Describing Eisenmann as "a scholar of distinction," Director of the Bunting Institute Florence Ladd said she was "extremely pleased" that Eisenmann would be coming to the Institute.
Eisenmann comes to Radcliffe during a transitional period for the Bunting Institute. Nearing its 30th anniversary, the institute is starting to reassess its goals as a new leadership takes over, said Ladd, who was hired as director this year.
"This is a very exciting time of change for the Bunting and for Radcliffe," said Eisenmann, who said she hopes to increase ethnic and educational diversity among Bunting fellows and to provide them with greater financial support.
Eisenmann said she hopes undergraduates will become more involved with the Bunting Institute and its programs during her tenure. "It's important for them to know that there is this bridge between the campus and the world of women scholars and writers and artists," she said.
