Anthropology Students Diandra Sarr and Sana Leebe win Gilman Scholarships

Sana Leebe and Diandra Sarr

Anthropology major Diandra Sarr, entering her senior year in AY 20-21, had planned to study in Senegal in Fall 2020, in SIT’s “Hip-Hop, African Diaspora, and Decolonial Futures” program, which includes a visit to Ghana, as well as Wolof language study. She hopes to be able to attend in Spring 2021 instead, if COVID-related travel restrictions are lifted.

Anthropology minor Sana Leebe is off to Jordan as part of SIT's "Refugees, Health and Humanitarian Action” program. This is a multi-faceted program that includes a several-weeks-long trip to Geneva as a way to help build a comparative framework about the politics (and resources) of refugee resettlement.
