Leonie Jackson joined Northumbria University in May 2020 having previously worked as a senior lecturer at the University of Huddersfield. Her research focuses on gendered and racialised representation in terrorism and counterterrorism discourse and she recently completed her third book, What is Counterterrorism For? which will be published with Bristol University Press in 2024.
She has contributed commentary for BBC Radio Four, The Yorkshire Post, and was the winner of the 2018 Political Studies Association's Sir Bernard Crick prize for Outstanding Teaching. She also serves as an editor of the journal Critical Studies on Terrorism.
Leonie is interested in critical approaches to terrorism and counterterrorism. Her work on the discursive construction of identities has covered diverse topics, including the representation of women's migration to Islamic State, Islamophobia, the British far-right, American neoconservatives and Enoch Powell's impact on local politics.
She is particularly interested in gendered and racialised constructions in international politics and how these are re-articulated in national and local settings.
