Faculty members are a central and essential resource for achieving our vision of an inquiry-driven, ethically engaged, and diverse intellectual community. Through teaching, research, and service, scholars and teachers of all ranks and disciplines leave an enduring imprint on those whose lives the university touches.

Collaborative Grants in the Humanities Spotlights: 'Poets in Place'
"Poets in Place" is a collaborative, interdisciplinary research and publication project directed by Profs. Natasha Trethewey and Allen Tullos.
As an ongoing series of original videos of poets reading and discussing their poems in locations they write about. "Poets in Place" presents contemporary poets who are giving voice to continuities and changes in southern regions such as the Black Belt, Carolina Piedmont, Atlanta Metropolitan Region, Gulf Coast, Southern Appalachians, and Lowcountry. While the poets represented are attentive to historical tensions, actors, and emotional textures of local environments, their poems have resonance with audiences far from these particular settings.
Most recently, these poets have been featured:
Rodney Jones "An Absence I Know I Won't Reclaim." Four poems.
Sean Hill "The Morning with Many Tongues." Four poems.
Patrick Phillips "Watching the Surface for a Sign." Five poems."Great Scholar, Great Work" Profiles Now on I-Tunes U!
Discover the profiles of Emory faculty members and sample their work from across the disciplines in multimedia.
