Book Launch Series
The Fox Center book launch series celebrates the publication of new monographs by Emory faculty in the humanities. If you have a book coming out soon, we’d love to hear from you! We are especially eager to celebrate first books.
Each of our launches puts an author in conversation with 1-2 faculty members from other disciplines. We envisage these events not only as opportunities to celebrate the exciting new research produced by our faculty, but also as a means of building connections and friendships across fields and departments.
Depending on the author’s preferences, our team will partner with the author's home department to confirm the venue, organize catering, help coordinate appropriate respondents, and strategize promotions to the author's desired audience. All book launches are photographed by a member of our team and will be recapped on Fox Center social media channels.
If you have a forthcoming book and would like us to organize a book launch for your work, please reach out to Director Carla Freeman and Associate Director Mae Velloso-Lyons.
