My name is Susanne Jones and I am a professor in the Department of Communication Studies at the University of Minnesota, Twin Cities. My research focuses on interpersonal communication processes, social support, and emotion regulation. I completed my degrees at Arizona State University, Indiana University, and Georgia Southern University. I am originally from Hamburg, Germany. I also grew up in Swakopmund and Windhoek, both cities in Namibia.

I am also very passionate about Dobermans, dog sports, and dog training. This is my Doberman girl, Ronja. She is my trust-fund Doberman companion and a pure joy. She and I are doing all kinds of shenanigans when I am not educating young minds, including conformation, obedience, rally, nosework, and barnhunt. Ronja's kennel name is UKC CH Protea's Ramble On RN DCAT SCN SIN RATS THDN CGC TKA. The letter salad means that she won tons of titles--smart cookie. Fun facts: her kennel name is based on the South African national flower, the Protea and Ramble On, a cool Led Zeppelin song. Her call name, Ronja, is based on an Astrid Lindgren-story, Ronja, the Robber's Daughter. There you have it!
