Dr. Jordan has over 20 years of experience working with and leading large collaborative applied research studies with vulnerable populations and community organizations especially those in the global South including Southern Africa, Asia and low-income urban areas in the U.S.A. She is a quantitative lead, and co-PI on the longitudinal project Child Health and Migrant Parents in Southeast Asia (CHAMPSEA) [Study countries, Indonesia, the Philippines, Thailand, and Vietnam). This internationally comparative mixed-method study has broken ground in family migration studies, and many other international projects currently in the field have drawn on the design and findings of CHAMPSEA to extend global research on transnational migration families across diverse cultures and family life course stages.
