Biography
Jessica F. Gibbs completed her PhD at the University of Cambridge in 2005 and lectures in History at the University of Aberystwyth. Her research interests include US foreign policy, in particular the influence of domestic politics on the policymaking process, US-Latin American relations and migration.
