About Jake Lynch

Born 1965. Jake Lynch is an academic.

Jake Lynch (born 1965) is a novelist, academic, journalist and poet, and a scholarly authority within the fields of peace journalism and peace research. He is an associate professor at the University of Sydney. Mind Over Murder and Diagnosis or Death, his detective stories set in contemporary Oxford and co-authored with Annabel McGoldrick, featuring EMDR Psychotherapist Janna Rose, are published by Next Chapter. His debut novel, Blood on the Stone, an historical mystery thriller set in Oxford in 1681, was published by Unbound Books. Since 2007, he has worked in academia, and currently holds the position of Associate Professor within the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences at Sydney University. Lynch has also previously served as Secretary-General of the International Peace Research Association, and has held visiting professorships and fellowships with the universities of Coventry, Cardiff, Bristol and Johannesburg.

Honours and awards Lynch has received numerous awards, most recently the Luxembourg Peace Prize for his work in peace journalism. In 2013, Shurat HaDin, an Israeli NGO, commenced legal action in the Federal Court of Australia against Lynch, alleging a breach of Australia's anti-racism laws over Lynch's active support for the BDS campaign. The case, however, was subsequently dismissed by His Honour Justice Alan Robertson, with costs in favour of Lynch.
