ABOUT
Jim Bachor's pothole mosaic in Uptown, Chicago.
Dr. Jennifer Jones is a native Chicagoan who had the good fortune to grow up with a large extended family, and lots of opportunities to explore the country's quintessential social laboratory. It was from these experiences navigating Chicago's many neighborhoods, and learning about its unique political culture, that she developed a passion for politics and a curiosity about race in all its dimensions.
In her free time, she is an avid photographer of the bunnies and public art in her neighborhood, a community gardener, a lover of all things culinary, and has a weak spot for ice cream (which she now makes at home on a regular basis). She's learned to enjoy running, high intensity interval workouts, and yoga to keep her knees young and to keep up with her toddler.
