Alison Jenkins Jayman

Dr. Alison Jenkins Jayman serves as a Visiting Assistant Professor in the Global Studies Department at St. Lawrence University, teaching GS 102 Race, Culture and Identity and GS 264 Global Public Health. Her position represents a return to the institution following prior association.

Academic credentials include a Ph.D. in Sociology from York University (Canada) with doctoral research on women's health and breast cancer care systems, and an M.A. in Sociology focused on mental health from the same institution.

Her research employs critical global public health frameworks to analyze health equity and policy implementation across transnational contexts. Key investigations examined community healthcare experiences in St. Lawrence County and Ontario's United Counties of Leeds & Grenville, revealing systemic disparities in women's health access. Research interests encompass:

• Global Public Health infrastructure
• Women's Health equity systems
• Mental health policy integration
• Breast cancer care navigation
• Transnational public policy analysis
• Community-based health disparities

Current academic activities center on teaching without documented grant funding, student supervision, or laboratory leadership. Her community-engaged research methodology emphasizes real-world healthcare access challenges through comparative regional analysis.
