Her teaching focuses on attachment communication (SCOM 414), interpersonal relationships (SCOM 314 & 331), and communication research methods (SCOM 383). Rosier also engages in public scholarship as the host of the Love Matters podcast and through her Instagram platform, @DrJennieRosier, where she translates research on attachment, relationships, parenting, and communication into accessible, evidence-informed content for a broader audience. In fact, she is frequently interviewed about her research by various media outlets.

Overall, Rosier’s work is grounded in a central question: How do our relationships shape the way we communicate, and how does the way we communicate shape the relationships we build?
