Further, recent work has highlighted women and violent behavior, including her dissertation, Gender and the Enactment of Suicide Bombings by Boko Haram (2019) and two solo-authored publications that furthers the literature on female suicide bombers and implications of addressing this population: "Instruments of violence: Female suicide bombers of Boko Haram" (International Journal of Law, Crime and Justice, 2019), and "Gender and the Strategic and Tactical Logic of Boko Haram’s Suicide Bombers" (Women & Criminal Justice, 2023), along with expert opinion pieces for the Center for Progressive Security and The Conversation Africa on gender and violence.

Additionally, Jordan has extensive experience working with special populations in her community, such as homeless, youth, substance users, and criminally involved, including as a youth counselor for disadvantaged children and as a volunteer yoga instructor in a substance abuse clinic.
