A partner of the Oberlin LIASE team, Shansi “facilitates experiential learning and nurtures mutually beneficial exchanges between Oberlin College & Conservatory and partners in Asia. Shansi’s programs have a transformative impact, empowering individuals, institutions, and communities to be leaders in cross-cultural engagement.”
Shansi’s current programs include:
-
Shansi Fellowships sponsor recent Oberlin graduates to work, teach, and study for a two- year Independent Fellowship or Site-specific Fellowship at Shansi partner institutions in China, India, Indonesia, and Japan. The Beijing Normal University Fellowship is for one year.
-
In-Asia Grants of $1,500 provide Oberlin undergraduates opportunities to develop valuable research skills and broaden their horizons by volunteering for non-governmental organizations in Asia, or through individual winter term or summer projects.
-
On-Campus Program Grants support events organized by student organizations or college departments.
-
The Visiting Scholars Program supports visits by Asian faculty to teach, conduct research, and/or study at Oberlin College. Undergraduates often work with our visitors, creating lasting scholarly relationships.
-
Sponsorship of the Shansi Distinguished Lecture series, which brings a prominent Asian scholar to campus for public lectures and classroom encounters.
