Angelina Gibson is a Historical Musicology PhD student with research interests in American music-law relations, choreo-musicological studies, and public musicology.
While at Augustana, Gibson served as an internationally-certified Writing Center tutor from 2019 and became its inaugural Assistant Director in 2021. A passionate advocate for linguistic justice and writing education, Gibson remains dedicated to assisting others in finding their unique writerly voice. She has been the recipient of academic awards such as the Augustana University Covenant Award for Excellence, alternate for the Nobel Peace Scholars, the Arthur Olsen Research Symposium’s “Lifelong Learner” award, and the Rackham Merit Fellowship. Gibson also founded Augustana’s first fine arts dance company, The ArtiTänzer Project, which eventually led to her ongoing collaboration with Dr. Yi Chun Lin’s Curious Music Collective as both a choreographer and pianist.
Gibson’s research and writing has been published in the South Dakota Symphony Orchestra’s Centennial program books, The Clarinet Online, and Venture (Augustana’s creative arts journal). She has also presented her research at the Sigma Tau Delta and American Musicological Society Midwest conferences, thus far.
