Amelia Schubert has been awarded a Foreign Language Area Studies Fellowship from the Center for Asian Studies for Summer 2010. She'll be studying Korean language at Ewha Women's University in Seoul. She will also be spending part of the summer conducting surveys of "mail-order brides" who have come to South Korea from China, to see how they maintain ties with their home communities and how they re-create aspects of their home communities in their new lives.
