Her research focuses on nineteenth-century British literature, particularly novels of the Victorian period.

She holds a Ph.D. in English from Duke University. Gibson's essays have been published in venues such as Novel: A Forum on Fiction and Narrative, where her 2017 essay "Charlotte Brontë's First Person" won honorable mention for the North American Victorian Studies Association's Donald Grey Prize for the Best Essay in Victorian Studies. She is co-director of the Digital Dickens Notes Project, which is digitizing and exploring the Working Notes Charles Dickens kept for his novels in order to deepen our understanding of Victorian serial form. Her current book project, Forming People, examines the capacities of novel form for representing and reshaping human psychology in the nineteenth century.
