Yaw Adu-Gyamfi

Yaw Adu-Gyamfi is Professor of English in the College of Arts & Sciences at Liberty University, where he serves as Online Chair. He holds a PhD and MA from University of Saskatchewan and BA from University of Science and Technology, Ghana. Adu-Gyamfi's scholarship examines the intersection of orality and writing in African literature.

His research analyzes how oral traditions influence literary expression in postcolonial African texts, particularly exploring cultural and political dimensions. Focus areas include the works of Wole Soyinka, mythological representation in literature, and the political functions of poetic expression.

Adu-Gyamfi's publications investigate how African writers incorporate oral performance elements into written texts, creating hybrid forms that negotiate cultural identity and political discourse. His work on Soyinka examines the Ogun mythos as cultural symbol and political metaphor.
