About

Sarah Jones likes to raise questions about how the ways we communicate impact peoples’ lives – whether it’s between siblings, in a romantic relationship, during a political campaign, a trending TikTok # or the latest TV show. By thinking about messaging in these various contexts, she thinks that we can come to interesting conclusions about the influence of these messages. From these insights, we might just ask ourselves not only about impact, but also about alternatives. How might a relationship or a community be improved if we changed how we communicate with one another?

Sarah considers herself a bit of a foodie and loves finding good restaurants. Her current favorite cuisine is Thai. She likes hanging out at the pool, jamming to music, playing games (video or board), and cuddling with her cat, SammyK.
