Abstract

Dr. Jordan’s research program centers on health-focused intervention programming, community-based studies, and African American families, couples, men, and youth. She utilizes this skill base to study two areas: (a) marriage and intimate relationships and (b) Type-2 diabetes prevention and management. She has received internal and external grant funding to support her research; results are published in high-quality journals under her maiden name, Tera R. Hurt. In addition to conducting research, she teaches courses on family communication and relationships, advanced qualitative methods, and mixed methods and serves the university community through leadership positions on the Athletics Council, Black Faculty and Staff Association, Inclusive Action Commission, McNair Advisory Council, and her college and department’s Honors and Awards Committee. Prior to joining the faculty at Iowa State in 2012, Dr. Jordan earned a dual-title Ph.D. in Human Development and Family Studies and Demography from The Pennsylvania State University in 2005 and worked as a Research Scientist at the University of Georgia from 2004 to 2012.
