Jackson is from New Zealand[1] and received her undergraduate degree in 1971 after studying political history and economics at Auckland University in 1973.[citation needed] In 1997 she was awarded a University of New South Wales M.Arch degree in architectural history and theory with a thesis that examined the internet-era implications for pre-internet theories about the history and future of domestic living and architecture.[2] Jackson earned her Ph.D. by publications from the University of Kent School of Architecture in 2017.[3]

Jackson was the editor of Architecture Australia from 1993 until 2000.[4] From 2002-2005, Jackson chaired the Venice Architecture Biennale Task Force,[4] which sought funding from the Australian council to support the participation of Australians in the Venice Biennale.[5] In 2005 she was named an associate professor at the University of New South Wales.[6]

Jackson is known for her work on architecture in Australia, knowledge she conveys through a series of books on architecture and through directing annual city light festivals in Sydney (Vivid Sydney/Smart Light Sydney 2009) and Singapore (iLight Marina Bay 2010, 2012).[7] Her books on architecture have been reviewed by multiple publications.[8][9]
