Radcliffe Exploratory and Advanced Seminars

Exploratory and Advanced Seminars at the Radcliffe Institute are intended to convene scholars in all fields for short-term collaborations. Every year since 2002, Radcliffe has sponsored faculty-led seminars on topics as broad as discrimination in the workplace and as specialized as statistical models for speech and audio signal processing.

The deadline to submit proposals for 2009–2010 has passed. The deadline for 2010–2011 proposals is April, 2010.
