Dr. Jacobson's research examines how leisure contexts shape self-perception among disempowered populations, with current work centered on post-structural feminist pedagogies, ecofeminism, and holistic mind-body-spirit frameworks. Her scholarship challenges foundational assumptions in leisure studies while exploring intersections of spirituality, gender, and environmental justice.
She regularly teaches Gender, Race, and Class and Sex and Culture, with past instruction including Introduction to Women’s Studies, Feminist Research Methods, and Feminist Theory. Three proposed courses under development include Introduction to Men’s Studies, Masculinity, Femininity, Religion, and Spirituality, and Ecofeminism and Organized Culture.
