Michael Gayle serves as Associate Professor in the School of Education at Andrews University and Co-Editor-in-Chief of the Journal of Research on Christian Education. His career bridges Seventh-day Adventist educational traditions with contemporary academic innovation.
His academic credentials include:
- PhD in Leadership from Andrews University

Professor Gayle's research navigates critical intersections: artificial intelligence's disruption of educational paradigms, anti-racist curriculum transformation, and identity-centered pedagogy. His autoethnographic work uniquely explores Black male identity within Seventh-day Adventist and jazz avant-garde contexts. Current projects address generative AI implementation strategies and accreditation solutions for small academic programs, reflecting responsiveness to urgent sector challenges.
Analysis of his 14 research outputs (2022-2025) reveals three converging trajectories: technological adaptation (AI-focused works), equity advancement (DEI frameworks), and institutional sustainability (accreditation research). These strands coalesce around his core mission of preserving educational mission integrity while innovating for contemporary challenges—particularly relevant for faith-based institutions.
As an active scholar-educator, Professor Gayle engages in collaborative research (evidenced by multi-author projects), editorial leadership, and practical solution development. His work provides actionable frameworks for faculty navigating technological disruption and equity imperatives, with special applicability to religiously affiliated higher education contexts.
