Dr. Jones is Professor of Political Science at the University of British Columbia and the author of Gender Inclusive: Essays on Violence, Men and Feminist International Relations and more than a dozen other books on genocide. He was recently cited as one of Fifty Key Thinkers on the Holocaust and Genocide.
