Katie Gilbert is a Philadelphia-based writer, editor, and educator. Her journalism has appeared in The Oxford American, The Atlantic, Al Jazeera America, Pacific Standard, Psychology Today, Institutional Investor, Responsible Investor, and elsewhere. Her long-form feature about an economic and political experiment in Jackson, Mississippi, was one of The Oxford American‘s most-viral stories of the year, and was included in the anthology Jackson Rising Redux: Lessons on Building the Future in the Present.

Katie helps universities and other organizations translate technical research findings and other big ideas, and connect them to a wider audience. In addition to writing and editing for these organizations, she also works one-on-one and in small groups to support subject-matter experts as they work to communicate their knowledge to the people who might benefit from it.

Katie earned an MFA in Nonfiction Writing from Goucher College. She taught journalism as an adjunct professor at Manhattanville College in Purchase, New York, for three years. In all of her writing instruction, Katie believes in empowering writers with the tailored tools, techniques, and confidence they need to dig deep enough to tell their own stories, in their own ways.

At MassArt, Katie Gilbert teaches Thinking Making Writing.
