Andrea Jonsson is an Associate Professor in the School of Modern Languages at the Ivan Allen College of Liberal Arts, Georgia Institute of Technology.

Dr. Jonsson’s research focuses on women’s voices challenging linguistic and cultural hegemonies, especially in contemporary French media, music, and performance. Key interests include slam poetry’s geopoetic textuality, vocal expressions of vulnerability in music spanning Jacques Brel to modern artists like Stromae, and feminist reinterpretations of maternal identity and humor in graphic narratives. Her current book project, Amplified Intimacy: Voicing French Feminisms in Contemporary Pop Culture, explores how women redefine male-dominated soundscapes through vocal intimacy in music, comedy, and immersive media.
