Meet the 2024 MacArthur Fellows

.The recipients of the 2024 MacArthur Base Fellowships have been revealed. Often referred to as the Brilliant Grant, it offers a $800,000 stipend per Fellow, paid over 5 years. Marlies A. Carruth, Director of the MacArthur Fellows says, "The 2024 MacArthur Fellows seek strenuous concern along with goal and purpose. They leave open predispositions developed into surfacing technologies as well as social systems and also fill essential gaps in the knowledge of cycles that preserve lifestyle on Earth. Their job highlights our common humanity, centering the agency of disabled individuals, the personality as well as pasts of Indigenous areas, the emotional lives of teenagers, and standpoints of rural Americans." A number of the 22 MacArthur Fellows this year have published publications, whether as their line of work, like adolescent and mid grade writer Jason Reynolds, or because of their job, like impairment compensation activist Alice Wong. Listed below are actually 10 of this particular year's MacArthur Fellows who are writers, starting along with those who received the alliance for their writing.
