PhD Candidate, Writing Center Consultant, Managing Editor of The Classic Journal

Yuliia Kabina is a PhD Candidate at the Department of English with a Graduate Certificate in African American Studies. She currently serves as a Graduate Assistant Director of the Willis Center for Writing at MLC. She finds working with writers who come to the Center the most rewarding part of her job, as it’s the consultations that prompt and sometimes direct her administrative work and research.

Her interest in African American and Indigenous literatures led to exploring ways of relating personal experiences to culture and history through fiction and non-fiction writing. Whether tutoring at the Willis Center for Writing (Fall 2022-present) or teaching English Composition classes (Fall 2023, Summer 2024, 2026), she studies how autoethnographic writing can be used across genres and in various educational settings to encourage writers to find their own voice, look at themselves in relation to their community, and effectively articulate their experiences.

She also works as a Managing Editor of The Classic Journal and is part of community-based theater team of VIPR Humanities in Public Life: A Multilingual Inquiry.
