Staring: How We Look (Oxford University Press: 2009)

“The Emory Author Development Program provided the ideal support to focus and rearrange the book manuscript I had drafted. Working with an editor helped to clarify the concepts and organization of the manuscript to make a more accessible publication that would speak across disciplines both within and outside the academic world. The Author Development Program was flexible and personalized to the needs of my project, and the support was delivered generously, graciously, and with scrupulous attention to strong, clear style.”

At Oxford University Press’s website:

“Drawing on examples from art, media, fashion, history and memoir, Garland-Thomson defines staring, explores the factors that motivate it, and considers the targets and the effects of the stare. A bodily inventory then enumerates how stares actually operate in daily life. Elegant and provocative, this book advances new ways of thinking about visuality and the body that will appeal to readers who are interested in the overlap between the humanities and human behaviors.”
