Announcing the Shansi Independent Fellowship
Oberlin Shansi announces its new Independent Fellowship that offers a highly motivated Oberlin College & Conservatory senior or recent alumni the opportunity to develop a full-time Shansi Fellowship in China, India, Indonesia, or Japan.
2017 Shansi Prize Winner: Sarah Chatta
Sarah's project grew out of the fifteen oral histories she collected over two months in India on a Shansi In-Asia Grant during the summer of 2014. The personal stories explore the impact of the 1947 Partition on individual lives and are a combination of oral and written histories, ethnography and memoir.
Shansi Awards Six In-Asia Grants
Oberlin Shansi has awarded In-Asia Grants to six intellectually and socially engaging projects for Winter Term and summer in 2017. The projects will take place in China, India, Japan, and Vietnam.
