A Feast of Words - 2020 Pandemic Edition


A Celebration of Emory University Faculty Books Published Between January 1 and August 31, 2020

The Feast of Words, the CFDE's annual celebration in honor of faculty authors and editors of books, is taking place online this year.

In a typical year, the Emory Center for Faculty Development and Excellence, Emory Libraries, and the Emory Barnes and Noble Bookstore host an annual event to celebrate the Emory faculty who have written or edited books in the prior year. University leaders attend to offer brief remarks and toast the honorees. This year’s gathering would have been the 17th year of the event. We have celebrated more than 1800 titles over that time.

In lieu of an in-person gathering this year, the following video, which went live on February 1, 2021, celebrates the authors and editors of books published in 2020 before August 31 (we are transitioning to a fall celebration to honor books published in the prior academic year in 2021). We hope you enjoy it!

Names in boldface indicate Emory faculty in cases of multiple authors or editors.

We have made an effort to identify all books written or edited by Emory faculty that were published between January 1 and August 31, 2020, but inevitably we miss a few. If you know of a book that should be on this list, please contact Allison Adams (aadam02@emory.edu), so that we may include it on the website at cfde.emory.edu. Thank you!
