A year-long Radcliffe-Salata Climate Justice Fellowship provides recipients the opportunity to pursue ambitious projects in the unique environment of the Harvard Radcliffe Institute. Fellows are drawn from some of the most thoughtful and exciting contemporary scholars considering questions of climate justice.

Buck and Morello-Frosch join the Radcliffe Institute and Salata Institute as the second-ever cohort of Climate Justice Fellows, following 2023-2024 Radcliffe-Salata Climate Justice fellows Fushcia-Ann Hoover and Jennie C. Stephens.

Holly Buck from the University at Buffalo, will write an interview-based book examining how rural communities engage with technology-oriented visions of the future, central to confronting climate change.

Rachel Morello-Frosch from the University of California Berkeley, will expand and develop new scientific projects, including environmental health and epidemiological studies, to explain the health and equity benefits of climate change policies (e.g., retirement of fossil fuel plants, reduction of oil and gas development, nature-based solutions). Her work will be integrated with novel research translation strategies, including the development of online decision-making tools and journalistic storytelling for diverse audiences with the goal of reshaping regulatory decision-making and policy to better integrate and advance sustainability and environmental justice goals.
