Jenn M Jackson
Jenn M. Jackson is an Assistant Professor at Syracuse University in the Department of Political Science as of August 2019.
In June 2019, she received her doctoral degree in Political Science from the Department of Political Science at the University of Chicago where she also received a graduate certificate in Gender and Sexuality Studies. Jenn’s research is in Black Politics with a focus on group threat, gender and sexuality, public opinion, political psychology, and behavior.
Jackson’s first book project investigates the role of group threat in influencing Black Americans’ political behavior. Methodologically, she utilizes quantitative analyses of survey data and experiments as well as qualitative analysis of 50 in-depth interviews with young Black Americans ages 18 to 35 in the Chicago area to investigate both intergroup and intragroup differences in responses to and ideas about group threat. She finds that Black women are most likely to express concerns about state-based and intragroup threat. Conversely, Black men vary drastically in their responses to group threat depending on their sexual orientation, gender expression, and vulnerability to stereotypes.
As a recipient of many prestigious honors and awards, Jenn is a 2018-2019 Residential Fellow at the Center for the Study of Race, Politics, and Culture, a 2018-2019 Teaching Fellow at the Chicago Center for Teaching, a 2017-2018 Urban Doctoral Fellow at the University of Chicago, a 2017 Women of Color Leadership Project inductee with the National Women’s Studies Association, and was a 2016-2017 APSA Minority Fellow. Jenn was also awarded honorary mention by the Ford Foundation Doctoral Dissertation Award Competition in 2018. She was also awarded a research fellowship from the CSRPC for her Master’s Thesis titled, “Black, Violent, Newsworthy? Crime, News Frames and Black Americans in the United States.” She is the 2014-2015 and 2015-2016 recipient of the Edith Heller Juda Scholarship, an award given to highly motivated students at the University of Chicago who have demonstrated a personal commitment to social and economic justice for all people and who have indicated their intention to dedicate themselves and their professional careers to the pursuit of these fundamental objectives. For the 2016-2017 and 2017-2018 academic years, Jenn serves as a co-facilitator for the American Politics Workshop in the Department of Political Science at the University of Chicago.
