She was also an associate instructor with the university's ethnomusicology department, and taught "World Folk Music Traditions" during this time.

[24][25][26][27][28] Completed in 2003, the study included multiple oral histories recorded by Jackson with former residents and descendants of former residents of the village and resulted in the United States Department of the Interior's publication of Jackson's Life in the Village: A Cultural Memory of the Fazendeville Community.

[29] Jackson then published "Declaration of Taking Twice: The Fazendeville Community of the Lower Ninth Ward," in American Anthropologist in 2006.

[34] During the early part of the twenty-first century, Jackson organized teams of Louisiana State University students to assist with the disaster recovery efforts of community organizations and other New Orleans-area nonprofits after Hurricane Katrina struck southeastern Louisiana in 2005.
