Andrew Delbanco

From WikiCU

Andrew Delbanco (pronounced "Dell-BANK-o") is the Julian Clarence Levi Professor in the Humanities and the director of the American Studies Program. He's also a prominent public intellectual who publishes all over the place and was named America's "top social critic" by Time magazine. The snarky comment on this is to say that Andrew Delbanco is what Time Magazine thinks a social critic is. He creepily refers to his Chinese-American wife as being "of Asian extraction."

A double graduate of Harvard (B.A., Ph.D.), he has also been the recipient of a Guggenheim Fellowship. Only he and Edward Said have won the Trilling Award twice, once for Melville and once for The Puritan Ordeal.
