Jonathan Donald Jenner is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Economics at the Faculty of Arts, University of Manitoba, based in 505 Fletcher Argue. He can be reached at jonathan.donald.jenner@umanitoba.ca and is currently accepting Master's and PhD students for supervision.
Dr. Jenner earned his PhD in Economics from the University of Massachusetts (2021), an MA in Economics from the same institution (2019), and a BA in Peace & Global Studies and Economics from Earlham College (2010).
His research centers on the political economy of colonial East Africa, with deep engagement in labor systems, colonial exploitation, and developmental frameworks. Key focus areas include:
- Political Economy
- African Political Economy
- Development Economics
- Colonialism and Imperialism
- Marxian Economics
- World Economies
His publication trajectory reveals consistent exploration of labor control mechanisms in colonial contexts, institutional labor structures, and alternative ownership models. The 2024 Kenya study demonstrates how spatial unemployment management and carceral systems enforced colonial profitability during economic depression, while earlier works systematically analyze socio-institutional labor ecosystems and worker ownership barriers.
Dr. Jenner actively mentors graduate students and teaches courses spanning Political Economy of Colonialism & Imperialism, World Economies, Development Economics, and Marxian Political Economy. His research profile indicates alignment with historical political economy funding streams, though specific grants remain unlisted in available materials.
