Dr Tim Wilson
Senior Lecturer
Dr Tim Wilson’s research interests and media appearances range widely over the past, present and future of terrorism and political violence. He is currently working on a 500-year history of the lone assassin.
His first book Frontiers of Violence – an ambitious comparison of violence in the contested borderlands of Ulster and Upper Silesia between 1918 and 1922 – was nominated for the Royal Historical Society’s prestigious Whitfield Prize in 2010. Killing Strangers: How Political Violence Became Modern appeared in September 2020. Both were published by Oxford University Press.
