Books of the Year from Arts and Sciences

Our faculty are composing poetry and writing about environmental justice and the psychology of sports, among many other topics

From poetry compilations to Spanish language short stories to an exploration of the psychology behind sports, a wide range of scholarship was on display at the School of Arts and Sciences Dean’s Annual Publication Party, held on April 27 on the Medford/Somerville campus.
