Feast of Words

The Feast of Words is an annual celebration of Emory faculty authors or editors of books published that year. We spend the year compiling the list of titles as we hear about them, so we very much appreciate receiving notification of new faculty books when they are published. 

If you have a new book, please let us know by emailing Allison Adams at aadam02@emory.edu, so that we may include you on our list of honored titles. 

Please mark your calendar for the next Feast of Words
