We sit down with the accomplished and inspiring Rand Zeitoun, the 2023 recipient of the Hassan Abbas Award in Citizenship and Social Justice. In this riveting dialogue, Zeitoun shares her experiences, her profound insights on social justice, and her reflections on being honored with such a significant award.
The Hassan Abbas Award, established by The Asfari Institute for Civil Society and Citizenship at the American University of Beirut, commemorates Dr. Hassan Abbas, an esteemed author, scholar, activist, and champion of truth, justice, and human dignity. His influential legacy continues to motivate students like Zeitoun to engage in society through a lens of citizenship, social justice, and freedom.
Zeitoun's journey is a testament to the values Dr. Abbas cherished, and her perspectives offer enlightening ideas about the state of social justice in our society. She, too, embodies the spirit of inclusivity and tolerance that the Hassan Abbas Award seeks to foster.
Tune in for an enlightening conversation that dives deep into the heart of social justice, the power of citizenship, and the embodiment of these principles in the lives of today's young leaders.
