Twenty faculty members across multiple departments in the University of Alabama at Birmingham’s College of Arts and Sciences wrote or edited 23 books last year. The scholarship was wide-ranging, include research on the anthropology of drugs, epigenetics, multimodal composition, and more.
The College continued to uphold its long-standing tradition of celebrating all faculty authors—from the previous year—at an event at the Abroms-Engel Institute for the Visual Arts. This year’s celebration took place on April 15, 2024, with approximately 50 faculty and staff members in attendance.
