The Artsy Scholar
Fayth Hope brings her experiences from the arts and culture world into the hallowed halls of academia, carving out her own brand of artful scholarship. An accomplished curator, artist, writer, counselor, and higher education professional, Fayth’s research and work interests include student affairs, arts-based research, narrative inquiry, student development, graduate student mental health, multicultural education, Historically Black Colleges & Universities (HBCUs), and minoritized populations (i.e., people of color, first generation/limited income students, LGBTQIA+). She is a fourth year doctoral student in The University of Alabama’s Higher Education Administration Ed.D. program…and prays to God to be finished by 2022.
For three decades, Fayth has been heavily involved in the arts. She has performed throughout the Southeastern U.S. as well as overseas; has written, recorded, and released original music including several singles and an EP, all of which can be found on platforms such as Apple Music, Pandora, and Spotify; self-published a book entitled Deliciously Imperfect: Poetry Prose, and Musings (2014); and has developed and coordinated a host of arts and culture events.
Fayth resides in Birmingham, AL with her soon-to-be 15-year-old son (and gumbo sous chef), Christopher.
