AROUND THE QUADS
Moyn, Pollock Win Van Doren, Trilling Awards
Samuel Moyn, associate professor of history, received the 46th annual Mark Van Doren Award for teaching, and Sheldon Pollock, the William B. Ransford Professor of Sanskrit and Indian Studies, received the 32nd annual Lionel Trilling [’25] Award for his book, The Language of the Gods in the World of Men: Sanskrit, Culture and Power in Premodern India. The awards, which were presented at Faculty House on May 3, are unique in that the winners are determined by College undergraduates who form the Academic Awards Committee of the Columbia College Student Council. The Van Doren Award recognizes outstanding undergraduate teaching and the Trilling Award honors a faculty member for a distinguished book published in the last year.
