Jessica earned her Ph.D. and M.A. in Sociology at the University of Windsor in Canada and her Bachelor of Arts degree in Psychology at Indiana University. With an interdisciplinary focus on sexuality, health, and social justice, Jessica's work is motivated by how different understandings of humanity and the common good are articulated in and through the regulation of the body and intimate practices. Her research agenda currently includes projects on sexual citizenship for persons with disabilities in the U.S. and experiences of gender-based violence and related stigma in Kenya.
