Tim Wilson is an expert on the history of political violence: and why it takes the forms that it does. He became interested in this field whilst running a youth club in North Belfast in the late 1990s. Since 2016 he has served as Director of the Centre for the Study of Terrorism and Political Violence (CSTPV) at the University of St Andrews: the oldest research centre of its kind in Europe. He is a frequent commentator on both national and international media.
