Stanford Global Studies congratulates three student affiliates awarded grants to pursue projects across the globe through the Fulbright U.S. Student Program.
- Yassamin Ansari, International Relations ('14), has received a Fulbright English Teaching Assistantship to Turkey, where she will teach English and serve as a volunteer in the community.
- Allison Mickel, a doctoral candidate in anthropology and an affiliate with the Sohaib and Sara Abbasi Program in Islamic Studies, will conduct ethnography with the Bedouin living in Petra, Jordan, to assemble an oral history of excavations in Petra over the last 100 years, as well as assess strategies for recording local interpretations of archaeological research.
- Lauren Yapp, a doctoral candidate in anthropology and an affiliate with the Sohaib and Sara Abbasi Program in Islamic Studies, will explore urban heritage protection in major cities in Indonesia, focusing on how memories of the colonial past are renegotiated and aspirations for the improvement of urban life are articulated through that process.
