We have endeavored to identify all books written or edited by Emory faculty that were published between September 1, 2022, and August 31, 2023, 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. Thank you!
