Jordan earned an MFA in Photography from the University of Alaska Fairbanks and is currently pursuing a PhD in Anthropology at Louisiana State University.
His research focuses on post-Katrina New Orleans culture, music, memory, and environmental change, often examining parallels between Southern Louisiana and Interior Alaska through themes of resilience, material culture, and lived experience.
