She honors the lives and creative works of Black feminist geniuses as sacred texts for all people. She believes that in the time we live in access to the intersectional, holistic brilliance of the black feminist tradition is as crucial as learning how to read. &nbsp;She brings that approach to her work as the provost of the Eternal Summer of the Black Feminist Mind, a transmedia- enabled community school (aka tiny black feminist university) and lending library based in Durham, North Carolina.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A queer black&nbsp;troublemaker, a black feminist love evangelist and a&nbsp;prayer poet priestess, Alexis has a PhD in English, African and African-American Studies, and&nbsp;Women and Gender Studies from Duke University. She&nbsp;was the first scholar to research&nbsp;the Audre Lorde Papers at Spelman College, the June Jordan Papers at Harvard University,&nbsp;and the Lucille Clifton Papers at Emory University during her dissertation research.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Alexis Pauline Gumbs, multi-disciplinary artist, scholar, activist and this year\u2019s Evan\u2019s Chair&nbsp;at The Evergreen State College. &nbsp;As an educator, Alexis Pauline Gumbs walks in the legacy of black lady school [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":9192,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mi_skip_tracking":false},"categories":[100,8],"tags":[63,3,55,29,106],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/sites.evergreen.edu\/artlectureseries\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/557"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/sites.evergreen.edu\/artlectureseries\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/sites.evergreen.edu\/artlectureseries\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sites.evergreen.edu\/artlectureseries\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/9192"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sites.evergreen.edu\/artlectureseries\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=557"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/sites.evergreen.edu\/artlectureseries\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/557\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":559,"href":"https:\/\/sites.evergreen.edu\/artlectureseries\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/557\/revisions\/559"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/sites.evergreen.edu\/artlectureseries\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=557"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sites.evergreen.edu\/artlectureseries\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=557"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sites.evergreen.edu\/artlectureseries\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=557"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
