Joseph Massad, professor of modern Arab politics and intellectual history, was awarded the 33rd Lionel Trilling [’25] Award for his book Desiring Arabs. The awards, which were presented at Faculty House on May 7, are unique in that the winners are determined by the College undergraduates who form the Academic Awards Committee of the Columbia College Student Council. Christopher Yang ’09 presented Massad with his award, and Guanhua Puah ’08 presented to Nathan.
