Sarah Beth Gilbert

Sarah Beth Gilbert received her BA in English Literature with a Minor in Spanish from Georgia College and State University in Milledgeville, GA only a couple of hours away from her hometown of Augusta, GA and her favorite city Atlanta, GA. After graduation she moved to Newark, NJ to spend a year of service (that turned into two) for AmeriCorps working at Great Oaks Legacy Charter High School. At Great Oaks she began as an English tutor and Teaching Assistant and eventually transitioned to Lead ELA Tutorial Curriculum Writer and Coordinator. She hopes to continue to help make reading and writing fun (or at least bearable) by aligning her students’ interests with the nuances of studying Literature. In undergrad Sarah Beth wrote a thesis on Gender and Sexuality in Doctor Who which focused on the role of the companion and how it has evolved since the 2005 reboot in both terms of representation and character depth. She also served as The Peacock’s Feet Co-Editor in Chief for GCSU’s student run literary journal while tutoring at a local high school. Sarah Beth’s academic interests involve the intersection of Gender and Sexuality, popular culture, Sci-Fi, film theory, and literature. When she isn’t consuming books, TV, or movies she is often listening to 2000’s Emo and Classic Rock while drinking obscene amounts of coffee and planning her next concert.
