Richard Jackson

Richard Jackson is acting director at the National Centre for Peace and Conflict Studies (NCPACS) at the University of Otago, New Zealand.

He is the editor-in-chief of the journal, Critical Studies on Terrorism, and has written eight books and more than 50 scholarly papers on terrorism, political violence and conflict resolution.

His latest book is a research-based novel entitled, Confessions of a Terrorist (Zed, 2014) which explores themes of resistance, violence and radicalisation.

Richard is currently embarking on a major project to understand pacifism and non-violence as a form of subjugated knowledge in society and how to de-subjugate it.
