With profound sadness, we share that University of Arkansas Dr. Alphonso W. Grant, Endowed Assistant Professor of Art Education and Affiliate Faculty Fulbright College of Arts and Sciences in African and African American Studies, Political Science, and Gender Studies, passed away due to a heart attack at his home in Fayetteville.

Our most sincere condolences to Dr. Grant's family, friends, and community. Please join us in supporting Dr. Grant's family by making a donation. 

Dr. Grant’s national and international reputation, his transdisciplinary research, leadership in diversity, selfless mentoring, teaching, and consulting work will forever be felt as critically pertinent to transforming stereotypical misrepresentations of race, gender, class, sexual orientation, and socioeconomic status, and other identities that are pervasive in our educational and social landscapes across the United States and globally.

With thankfulness for the positive impact you have made on so many peoples’ lives, may you rest peacefully, Dr. Grant.
