Faculty Associate Adriana Craciun Awarded Harvard Radcliffe Institute Fellowship

Adriana Craciun, Emma MacLachlan Metcalf Chair of Humanities and a Faculty Associate at the Frederick S. Pardee Center for the Study of the Longer-Range Future, was recently awarded a 2025-26 Harvard Radcliffe Fellowship, one of the university’s most prestigious fellowships. Radcliffe Fellows are a uniquely interdisciplinary community of scientists, artists, and scholars doing innovative work that confronts pressing social and policy issues while engaging audiences beyond academia.

At Radcliffe, Prof. Craciun will explore how the increase in plant life, working in tandem with people, is transforming two very different Arctic places: Greenland and Svalbard.

Prof. Craciun is the co-convenor of The Arctic Environmental Humanities Workshop Series, a collaboration between the Pardee Center and the Scott Polar Research Institute at the University of Cambridge. The series brings together the diverse expertise of humanistic scholars, scientists, social scientists, and artists for a series of virtual presentations and conversations about Arctic issues.
