Jack Parsons (1920 - 3 October 2006) is remembered principally for his research as a sociologist, which advocated and promoted the practice of population control.

He also wrote, directed, produced and edited a documentary film, The Blackhill Campaign, between 1959 and 1963, about the closure of a coal mine near Berwick Upon Tweed in 1959.

Parsons was born in Nottinghamshire in 1920. He served in the RAF during World War II, before working in civil engineering and studying as a mature student at Keele University from 1952-55.

He then worked as a research officer for the National Coal Board until 1959, before his first academic appointment at the Brunel College of Technology in London.
