Dr Campion (BA (Hons 1 Class) PhD (JCU) is Lecturer of Terrorism Studies in the Master of Terrorism and Security Studies degree at Charles Sturt University. She has worked in universities since 2012, teaching into history and political science.

Her research has focused on diverse terrorism threat natures in western democratic contexts. Her publications on right wing extremism have identified the extensive transnational and domestic networks; defined ideological systems and beliefs; critically examined the participation of women; and explored the contextual factors which has enabled its overall endurance. Dr Campion’s publications on left wing extremism have illuminated and provided nuance to a little understood – and contentious – threat nature. This has included an examination of “unstructured terrorism” as a historical strategy, through to contemporary resistance measures. She has also research Salafi-Jihadist terrorism, with reference to ideology, identity, and operational innovation.

From 2012 to 2020, Piero was a Lecturer in Criminal Justice at the Centre for Law and Justice at Charles Sturt University. Currently, he works as Lecturer in Criminology at Edith Cowan University.
In his research, Piero has focused predominantly on problems of state legitimacy and political obligation, with reference to the following questions: 1) what, if anything, is wrong with disobeying the law, i.e. with committing what are usually considered ‘mala prohibita’?; 2) what is the difference between ‘civil’ and ‘uncivil’ disobedience’ of the law?; 3) how should democratic institutions respond to citizens who engage in civil disobedience? He has addressed these questions in his recent book Civil Disobedience: a Philosophical Overview (Rowman and Littlefield Intl) and in numerous peer-reviewed journal articles. Piero is also interested in the justification (or lack of thereof) of compulsory voting and in debates about non-retributive penal policies.
