Research and Teaching

Jordan has direct practice experience with system(s)-impacted youth, youth with disabilities, and supporting individuals with substance use histories and criminal (in)justice involvement. Informed by her practice experience, her research focuses on exploring ways to interrupt carceral violence that communities who have been impacted by the war on drugs face.  Using community-based participatory methods, her research aims are to amplify and uplift community resilience and strategies for reducing substance-related harms.  Likewise, Jordan's teaching draws on critical pedagogies that recognize the lived experience and expertise of students, emphasize the use of critical reflexivity, and promote critical consciousness-raising.
