Dr Josh Roose is an Associate Professor focussing on politics, law, religion and violent extremism at the Alfred Deakin Institute for Citizenship and Globalisation at Deakin University. His research focuses on the role of masculinities, economies, social trajectories and ideologies in shaping the attraction to and patterns of participation in violent extremism. He places particular emphasis on exploring societal level responses and solutions including the strengthening of citizenship, anti-discrimination legislation and key institutions.
Josh has, with colleagues, received Australian Research Council Discovery project funding to explore the Australian far right (2021-2024) and anti-women online actors (2022-2025). He has previously completed projects for the Victorian Government Department of Justice and Community Safety on masculinities and recruitment to violent extremism and Victoria Police on alternative narratives and provides expert insights for local, state and federal governments and national and international media. He is a member of the editorial board of the journal Perspectives on Terrorism and member of the AVERT Steering Committee.
