ACLS Shares Books Released by Fellows and Grantees in 2025

ACLS is pleased to share select books published in the first half of 2025 by ACLS fellows and grantees, many of which developed from ACLS-supported research. These publications represent just a sample of the impressive works authored by past and current fellows. They reflect a wide array of topics, including stories of Indigenous currency as a meaning-making communication technology, an exploration of the dynamics of chastity culture in Chosŏn Korea, and a digital compilation of experimental scores, audiovisual materials, and source documents from 1960s postwar avant-gardes.
