Book Publications by UGA Humanities and Arts Faculty and Graduate Students

Humanities and arts faculty and graduate students at UGA publish a diverse and impressive array of books each academic year, including works of academic research, poetry, novels, theater, criticism, translation, visual art, and more. The Willson Center supports many of these projects through its own research programs, and by providing assistance with applications for external grants and fellowships.

This page currently collects publications since 2022 and will be expanded. If you are a faculty member or student in the humanities and arts at UGA and have a book published or scheduled for publication, please contact Dave Marr, the Willson Center’s communications director, at davemarr@uga.edu so that we can share it here.
