Jasmyne Gilbert (she/her/hers) is an interdisciplinary scholar amplifying the stories that shape, sustain, and subvert American cultures. She is a third-year Mythological Studies student at Pacifica Graduate Institute, and Co-Senior Editor of the Mythological Studies Journal.

For Jasmyne, stories are sources of power and tools for critique and transformation. Merging myth, depth psychology, speculative imagination (what-if thinking), and cultural analysis, her research examines the hidden potential of narratives to inspire community-building and systemic change. She currently resides in so-called Los Angeles on occupied Gabrielino/Tongva land.
