As program director of the Iowa Writers’ Workshop, Lan Samantha Chang is used to calling people with good news. But this time, the Elizabeth M. Stanley Professor in the Arts was the one who received the call.
Chang was named a 2021-22 Berlin Prize fellow, an honor awarded to scholars, writers, and artists who represent the highest standards of excellence in their field. The prize, presented by the American Academy in Berlin, Germany, provides a semester-long fellowship for recipients to pursue their creative work.
