Associate Professor Jeffrey Moser's 2023 publication, Nominal Things: Bronzes in the Making of Medieval China (University of Chicago Press), was awarded the Bei Shan Tang Monograph Prize by the Association for Asian Studies (AAS). The Bei Shan Tang award honors an outstanding and innovative sole-authored monograph on Chinese art history of any historical period published in the English language.

Professor Moser has also recently published a new book, Countless Sands: Medieval Buddhists and Their Environments (University of Hawai‘i Press, 2025). Co-edited with Jason Protass (Brown University, Religious Studies), this text features contributions from eleven prominent scholars, the volume presents engaging analyses of the diverse relationships between Buddhism and the environment that existed in medieval Asia.
