Jensen's research explores how music and sound function in animated films, analyzing both formal multimodal features and children's reception processes. She employs intermedial frameworks to study sonic contributions to character development and narrative engagement.
Her recent publications span ecological themes in animation, Frozen's musical impact, and theoretical advancements in combining intermedial and multimodal approaches. She has contributed to Routledge's Intermedial Studies collection and presented at international conferences like the Society for Animation Studies and NordMedia.
Current projects include editorial work on Future Directions in Intermediality and Multimodality (Routledge, 2025), advancing theoretical vocabularies for cross-media analysis while maintaining empirical focus on audience reception patterns.
