Biography

Kristina Gibby is an Assistant Professor for the Department of Philosophy and Humanities. She holds a BA in Humanities and MA in Comparative Studies from Brigham Young University and a PhD in Comparative Literature (Minor in Hispanic Studies) from Louisiana State University.

Dr. Gibby's recent book, Ancestral Voices, Healing Narratives: Female Ghosts in Contemporary US and Caribbean Fiction (Lexington Books), explores the significance of female ghosts--specifically maternal figures, who haunt female narrators, inspiring them to transcribe the dead's obfuscated (hi)stories and recover their family memory.

She teaches Humanities through the Arts, World History through the Arts I & II, Adventures in Ideas after 1500 ("World Literature"), Art and Culture of Latin America, and the Caribbean Novel.
