Daniel Tam-Claiborne '09 Awarded National Endowment for the Arts Creative Writing Fellowship

The Oberlin Shansi team is thrilled to share the amazing news that Shansi alum and current Trustee Daniel Tam-Claiborne '09 has been awarded a Creative Writing Fellowship by the National Endowment for the Arts. Daniel writes about Chinese in America and Americans in China, and I am sure his experience as a Shansi Fellow in Taigu, China from 2009-11 has contributed to his writing. Daniel's work could not be more timely during a time of rising anti-Asian hate in the United States and decaying relations between the US and China. These times remind us of the importance of cross-cultural experiences like Shansi Fellowships, and Daniel helps expand our horizons with his writing.
