Gary Lemons

Professor (in memoriam)

• Curriculum Vitae

BIO

As Professor of African American literature and biblical studies鈥攎y pedagogical approach,
research, and scholarly production are grounded in Black feminist and womanist theory,
criticism, and pedagogy rooted in intersectionality and autocritography. I received my Ph.D. in
English and an Advanced Certificate in Museum Studies from New York University in 1992.
Since then, I have been awarded three postdoctoral fellowships, two from the National
Endowment for the Humanities and the other from the Rockefeller Foundation. With these
awards, I held postgraduate residencies at Bennett College (one of two historically Black
women鈥檚 colleges in the nation), the Institute for the Study of Women and Men at the University
of Southern California, and the Womanist Consortium at the University of Georgia.
