Alison Kibbe is a 7th-year PhD candidate in American Studies and African American Studies. Her research focuses on Black mobility and cultural production in the Caribbean and the Americas, particularly on the relationship between Black migration and the corporation plantation in the early 20th-century Caribbean. Her methods include family history, oral history, ethnography, food studies, and performance studies.  Alison is passionate about supporting writers in building their own personalized writers toolkits and strategies. She helps writers achieve clarity and access their creativity (yes, it is possible within academic formats!) by exploring and experimenting with strategies that break writing projects into a series of practices. As someone with ADHD, she embraces a neuro-inclusive approach that honors the varied ways we process and communicate information. She also has a passion for working with multi-lingual writers. She has taught undergraduate writing courses and coached writers at the Yale College Writing Center. Before coming to Yale, Alison worked as an independent artist, producer, and cultural organizer. She holds a B.A. in Cultural Anthropology from Duke University.
