Dr. Ernest Gibson III

Dr. Ernest Gibson III

In his words Ernest is a Professor | Writer | African Americanist | Cultural Theorist | Joyist, he's also an avid runner who recently discovered a passion for cycling.  Professor Gibson is the author of Salvific Manhood.  Salvific Manhood foregrounds the radical power of male intimacy and vulnerability in surveying each of James Baldwin’s six novels.  Asserting that manhood and masculinity hold the potential for both tragedy and salvation, Ernest L. Gibson III highlights the complex and difficult emotional choices Baldwin’s men must make within their varied lives, relationships, and experiences. In Salvific Manhood, Gibson offers a new and compelling way to understand the hidden connections between Baldwin’s novels.  In this episode we talk about the book and his road to running.
