Dr. Kimberly B. George is a feminist social theorist and expert in writing pedagogy. She holds a Ph.D. in Ethnic Studies, with a focus on contemplative writing practices and psychosocial theories of change.  She also holds an M.A. in religious history from Yale Divinity School. Much of her scholarship and teaching explores the intersections of Black, women-of-color, and anti-racist white feminist histories of writing, coalition building, and spiritual practices.  

While conducting her research at Columbia University, she works to open the enclosures of academia to support lifelong learning. Her programs have trained leaders in education, religion, medicine, philanthropy, and psychotherapy to root into feminist, decolonial, and critical race frameworks. Recently, she piloted a national writing program for spiritual leaders to contribute to the public square on issues of justice. As a former postgraduate fellow at Yale University in gender equity and policy, she also partnered with The OpEd Project's Public Voices Fellowship to support Yale faculty to write beyond the university.

Before her academic path, she trained as a therapist, a foundation shaping her  curricular development strategies and trauma-informed pedagogy.

She is completing a book on contemplative writing practices and the teaching and learning methods that intervene in epistemic violence.  Based on her book's innovative methods, this fall she will be co-teaching her new course Writing Multiplicity, Finding Voice: Writing as Spiritual Activism at Union Theological Seminary. Dr. George is also available for writing retreats and workshops that support graduate students, faculty, and spiritual leaders.
