Books (and CDs) of the Year
Highlights from A&S authors and musicians range from Japanese culture to economics to Charles Ives
The range of scholarship—and interests—among the faculty of the School of Arts and Sciences was on display at the Dean’s Annual Book Party, hosted on April 22 by Arts and Sciences Dean Robert Sternberg.
Topics ranged from the economics of sustainability and approaches to classroom management to campus life in the movies and the mix of reggae and rap.
The book party, held in Alumnae Lounge at the Aidekman Arts Center, honors A&S faculty authors who have published recently. This year’s event also featured newly published musical recordings.
