Sitting Down with Jenny

What does it mean to research a subject you have lived through?

Ask Jordon’s Newsletter is a reader-supported publication. To receive new posts and support my work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber.

Jenny Dazzle shares not only her research journey but her personal experience of her subject. She is using that lived experience to research what is widely misunderstood and under-studied: the long-term impact of homicide on the friends and families left behind.

Thanks for reading Ask Jordon’s Newsletter! This post is public so feel free to share it.

Working with the charity Support After Murder and Manslaughter, and drawing on autoethnography alongside interview research, Jenny is building a body of work that centres survivor voices rather than offender narratives. In this episode, we talk about the gaps in victim-centred justice, the desensitisation driven by true crime media, parole reform, and why she refuses to let her thesis become, in her words, a book of dread. Keep learning, keep questioning.
