After receiving her Ph.D. from Radcliffe College, Dr. Gilb taught at Mills College, San Francisco State College, and Wayne State University in Detroit. An early advocate of interdisciplinary study, Dr. Gilb's courses drew on many fields, but she always described herself as an "Historian".
"The historiography I advocate is not Humean, but is based on the concept that consciousness is a field structured by intentionality and by the functional necessities of dynamic integration of all the mandates of physiological rhythms, the rhythms of nature, the coordinating processes of nurture, internalized imagery, external social demands, and internalized history that work upon and within the individual. This applies equally well to the consciousness of the historian and to the consciousnesses of the historical people he studies. If the historian wishes to be “objective”, he must first know himself, accept responsibility in an existential way for the continual process of creating his self-space, and commit himself to the tasks of scholarship out of the wisdom gained from his commitment to the process of himself."
