Brian Gibson

Brian Gibson serves as Associate Professor in the Department of English Studies within the Faculty of Arts and Sciences at Sainte Anne University, maintaining active contact through email (brian.gibson@usainteanne.ca) and office GB 305 at the Pointe-de-l'Église, Nova Scotia campus.

His academic credentials include:

• Ph.D. in English and Film Studies, University of Alberta (2006)
• M.A. in English, University of Toronto (1999)
• B.A. Honours in English and Creative Writing, summa cum laude, York University (1998)

Professor Gibson's research program centers on masculinities in English literature (1880-1920), film studies, and children's literature, with particular expertise in British fiction and cinematic gender representation. His scholarly output examines authors like Saki and Dickens alongside filmmakers including Kubrick and Tati, while contemporary analyses address trans representation in film, serial killer narratives, and television series such as The Sopranos and Breaking Bad. This interdisciplinary approach bridges literary analysis with film theory to investigate evolving constructions of identity across historical and modern contexts.
