Radcliffe has appointed 38 women scholars, writers and artists to year-long fellowships at the Bunting Institute. The recipients of the prestigious prize, who were named in June, will begin their terms in the fall.
The Bunting Institute provides office space and access to University resources to "women in fields in which they continue to be undervalued and underrepresented," according to Radcliffe's statement.
This year's Bunting Fellows are spread among a variety of disciplines, from music composition to biomedical research. Rita N. Brock, director of the Bunting Institute, said all of the Bunting Fellows have something in common in that they are all "on the cutting edge" of their fields.
Past Bunting Fellows have included playwright Anna Deavere Smith and former Vermont governor and ambassador Madeleine Kunin. The fellowships were first offered in 1962.
The late Mary Ingraham Bunting--the legendaryRadcliffe president who left her porch-light onfor late-night chats with undergraduates--set thestage for Radcliffe's new focus on research byestablishing the now-Bunting Institute in 1960,and proposing to merge with Harvard in 1969.
