Talk:Harvard Radcliffe Institute

Untitled
Struck the following. It does not seem to be NPOV:

Outreach The Radcliffe Institute is committed to dialogue about important issues, events, and research. It enriches the intellectual life of Harvard University and beyond through a robust program of lectures, seminars, conferences, exhibits, and more that make available the latest research by Radcliffe Institute fellows and invited scholars.

Exploratory and Advanced Seminars at the Radcliffe Institute are intended to convene scholars in all fields for short-term collaborations.

This strikes me as advertising and/or Commercial bias. It certainly isn't neutral. MKFreeberg 20:05, 10 February 2007 (UTC)


 * Furthermore, it sounds a lot like copyvio. Doops | talk 20:10, 10 February 2007 (UTC)

To be more blunt, I think it's fair to say this piece is propagandist at best, seeing as Radcliffe was created to allow women to study at Harvard without letting them receive a degree from Harvard. A more charitable explanation was that Radcliffe was the "experimental" school designed to integrate women into Harvard without pissing off the school board & trustees. -I'll come back when I'm home to do some critical research and fix this - brin 5.28.13  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 108.67.152.93 (talk) 13:32, 29 May 2013 (UTC)

"The Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Study at Harvard shares transformative ideas across the arts"
...written by the press secretary of the Radcliffe Institute, no doubt. Nobody else would utter such buzzword nonsense. - 91.10.58.121 (talk) 15:49, 13 September 2018 (UTC)
 * The Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Study at Harvard seems to have been named to parallel the Princeton Institute for Advanced Study where Albert Einstein and Abraham Flexner has worked. MaynardClark (talk) 02:32, 28 June 2021 (UTC)
 * Or the Center for Advanced Studies in the Behavioral Sciences (now part of Stanford)... There are a bunch of these! There is apparently even an organization called Some Institutes for Advanced Study to which they all belong! — m a k o ๛ 

Appears to be rebranded as "Harvard Radcliffe Institute"
At some point in the recent pass, the institute's homepage, Twitter, and all Harvard communications started referring to the Radcliffe exclusively as the Harvard Radcliffe Institute. For example, this press release refers only to the "Harvard Radcliffe Institute."

This appears to is part of a broader strategy at Harvard to have everything rebranded to add/emphasize the term "Harvard." Although it appears the old name hasn't been dropped officially, I think this should be handled the same way that, for example, the Harvard Kennedy School (AKA the John F. Kennedy School of Government). Since things seems extremely quiet here, I'm going to boldly execute a move/rename here. I don't feel super strongly about this so if there's strong disagreements or reason to believe the situation is really different than it is with HKS, lets talk about it here. — m a k o ๛  02:25, 28 June 2021 (UTC)

Byerly Hall
Too bad that the Byerly Hall article seems to have been deleted. MaynardClark (talk) 02:33, 28 June 2021 (UTC)


 * The logs seem to indicate that this was only deleted because the author requested it (WP:CSD). If you want, we can request a WP:REFUND. I don't know what Byerly Hall but if you think it would be useful as a subsection of this article, maybe have it restored into your userspace or something and merge it in? I'm happy to help. — m a k o ๛  02:47, 28 June 2021 (UTC)
