Jennifer L. Gibbs
Professor Gibbs has been on the faculty of Rutgers since 2004. She is currently an Assistant Professor and teaches courses on Organizational Communication and Intercultural Communication in the undergraduate, MCIS, and PhD programs.
Her research interests center around how individuals connect, collaborate, and negotiate identity and differences in global, multicultural, and mediated contexts. One main research stream investigates collaboration, culture, and management of multiple identifications in global virtual teams. Another stream focuses on self-presentation, identity management, and assessment of credibility in online relationship formation (specifically online dating).
Dr. Gibbs earned her PhD from the Annenberg School of Communication at the University of Southern California in 2002. She then spent two years as a post-doc researching the globalization of e-commerce on an NSF grant at the Center for Research on Information Technology and Organizations (CRITO) at the University of California, Irvine. Before her academic career, she worked in consumer market research in Prague, Czech Republic. She has also lived in Germany and Austria and speaks Czech, German, Spanish, and some Russian.
