Echoing Wislawa Szymborska’s “We call it a grain of sand,” the award underscores the centrality of meaning making in both the constitution and study of the political; drawing on William Blake’s “To see a world in a grain of sand,” the award honors the capacity of interpretive scholarship to embody and inspire imaginative theorizing, the intentional cultivation of new lines of sight through an expansion of literary and experiential resources, and the nourishing of a playfulness of mind so necessary to the vitality of social science.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n The 2023 Grain of Sand Award<\/strong> has been awarded to Timothy Mitchell, the William B. Ransford Professor of Middle Eastern, South Asian and African Studies, Columbia University.As a trail blazer in the fields of political science and postcolonial theory, Mitchell\u2019s widely cited research has explored the place of colonialism in the making of modernity, the material and technical politics of the Middle East, and the role of economics and other forms of expert knowledge in the management and disciplining of collective life.
