Faculty Bookwatch
2012 - 2013
Jointly hosted by the FHI and the Duke University Libraries, Faculty Bookwatch is a series that celebrates notable recent books by Duke faculty in the humanities and interpretive social sciences. Each program brings together an interdisciplinary panel of faculty at Duke and beyond to discuss the work at hand, with participation by the author. The Spring 2013 Bookwatch will focus on The Making of Romantic Love: Longing and Sexuality in Europe, South Asia, and Japan, 900 – 1200 CE by William Reddy (Univerisity of Chicago Press, 2012).
