Wicker Selected as Radcliffe 2023-2024 Fellow

Marcus Wicker, the head of the creative writing program at the University of Memphis, will be a fellow with the Harvard Radcliffe Institute’s 2023-24 cohort. A Radcliffe fellowship offers scholars in the humanities, sciences, social sciences, and arts – as well as writers, journalists, and other distinguished professionals – a rare chance to pursue ambitious projects for a full year in a vibrant interdisciplinary setting amid the resources of Harvard.

Highlights

• As a Mary I. Bunting Fellow, Wicker will complete his third collection of poetry

• The 2023-24 fellows represent only 3.3% of the many applications that Radcliffe received.

• This year the fellows are undertaking projects that address the urgent, the beautiful, and the vast: from reckoning with the challenges of climate change to creating digital models of iconic Italian violins to detecting distant galaxies
