His PhD research looks at the development of people smuggling as a crime in international law, its relationship to earlier prohibitions on the smuggling of goods and the impact this has on the way people smuggling is approached in law. Jackson is a graduate of Lund University, Sweden and Cardiff University, U.K., where he undertook a LLM in International Human Rights Law and International Labour Rights and a LLB in Law respectively. After obtaining his LLM, Jackson worked in a range of research and research coordination positions in human rights and anti-corruption civil society organisations, looking at topics from corruption to business and human rights and democracy in Europe.
