2024 Recipient: Annie Lane
Annie is from St. Louis, Missouri, and she graduated from Monmouth College, IL in 2010 with a bachelor’s degree in history and anthropology. For the past 14 years, she has lived and worked in India, South Korea, and Australia, cultivating a love for different cultures, and through these experiences, she discovered an interest in human migration. Currently, she is a master’s student in the Ethnic and Migration Studies program at the University of Linköping. Her master thesis will center around climate (im)mobility of widows in coastal communities in East Africa, particularly Kenya. She hopes that community members can use her thesis to help them obtain additional funding from private and public entities.

To continue the tradition of the Jessie Lokrantz scholarship, the American Women’s Club is reaching out to individuals, companies and organizations in Sweden with solid ties to the United States. We aim to strengthen ties between academia and the professional workforce, and perhaps encourage exchange of professional knowledge between our scholarship recipients and the Swedish professional workforce. No donation is too small! We appreciate your generosity.
