She discovered her love for storytelling while covering a series of bitter labor battles in her native Illinois in the early 1990s. Grad school couldn’t compare, and so she forsook academic life for one of an itinerant interviewer. Her interest in—some would say ‘obsession’ with—public education began in 2006 when she took a job editing the statewide newspaper for AFT Massachusetts. She would go on to start an irreverent blog called EduShyster, chronicling the excesses of the education reform movement.
Jennifer writes about the intersection of education and politics for the Nation, the New Republic, the Baffler, the New York Times, and other publications. She is the author of two books: A Wolf at the Schoolhouse Door: The Dismantling of Public Education and the Future of School (with Jack), and More Worlds to Negotiate: John Dunlop and the Art of Problem Solving. She teaches in the journalism program at Boston College and in the Education Studies program at Yale University. A licensed public school teacher, Jennifer lives in Gloucester, Massachusetts.
