Jenkins has advocated for a more holistic view of academic life,blending creative writing,public engagement,and even tarot readings into her philosophical practice. She refers to this interdisciplinary integration as a form of "life crafting" and "love crafting," emphasizing flexibility and resistance to institutional constraints. [7]
Jenkins became involved in a dispute with Brian Leiter,a professor at the University of Chicago and then editor of the Philosophical Gourmet Report. His emailed remarks about Jenkins led to hundreds of philosophers refusing to provide data for the report,and ultimately led to his stepping down as its editor. [8] [9]
As of 2017,Jenkins has both a boyfriend and a husband. That year she stated,"I've been openly nonmonogamous for five or six years. Over the last four years,I’ve been involved in several long-term simultaneous relationships,and so the term polyamory has felt more appropriate." [10]
