Timeline

1952

Keith Gilyard (born 1952 in New York City) is a writer and American professor of English and African American Studies.

He has passionately embraced African American expressive culture over the course of his career as a poet, scholar, and educator.

Beyond his own literary output, he has pursued – and in some instances merged - two main lines of humanistic inquiry: literary studies, with its concern for beauty and significant form, and rhetorical studies, with its emphasis on the effect of trope and argument in culture.

Moreover, his interests branch out into popular culture, civic discourse, and educational praxis.

A critical perspective concerning these areas is, in his view, integral to the development of discerning and productive publics both on and beyond campuses and therefore crucial to the optimal practice of democracy.

1974

Gilyard received his undergraduate degree (BS) from the City University CUNY Baccalaureate Program (1974), his Master of Fine Arts (MFA) from Columbia University (1979), and his doctorate (EdD) from New York University (1985), this last degree under the mentorship of Gordon M. Pradl.
