Nicki Pombier is an oral historian, writer and educator, and founding editor of Underwater New York. Her work in oral history engages the arts, disability justice and social change, with a particular focus on how to be a narrative ally, collaborating across ability. She is passionate about teaching and learning, and works with undergraduates at the College of Performing Arts at The New School and graduate students in the Oral History Master of Arts Program at Columbia University.

In all that Nicki does, she strives to work oral historically—deeply invested in co-creation, grounded in listening, with a rigorous ethic around stewarding stories into the world, in the labor of belief that doing this work might create better conditions for justice, repair, restoration, and restitution.
