Radcliffe Institute For Advanced Study
The Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Study at Harvard is an educational institution in Cambridge, Massachusetts, and one of the semiautonomous components of Harvard University. It is heir to the name and buildings of Radcliffe College, but unlike that historical institution, its focus is directed not at undergraduate education but postgraduate research. In its current state, it consists of three core programs: Schlesinger Library, Fellowship Program, and Academic Ventures. Lizabeth Cohen, the Howard Mumford Jones Professor of American Studies in the Harvard Faculty of Arts and Sciences, is the interim dean of the Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Study (effective July 1, 2011).
