Dr Tim J. Coles is an academic, independent journalist and deep politics researcher. He co-founded the Plymouth Institute for Peace Research while studying at Plymouth University.[1] He has written for commercially-controlled media including The New Statesman[2] and Newsweek[3], as well as independent media such as CounterPunch[4], The Gray Zone[5], New Dawn[6] and Nexus.[7]
Activities
T. J. Coles co-founded the Plymouth Institute for Peace Research (PIPR), "a centre for interdisciplinary research groups and grassroots activists dedicated to peace and justice".[8] His political writings have appeared in the peer-reviewed journals, Peace Review[9] and Ethical Space.[10] In 2013, he was short-listed for the Martha Gellhorn Prize for a series of articles about NATO's destruction of Libya.[11].
Censorship
Writing "some pretty odd stuff for a journal called Nexus"
His university Email was withdrawn after "a cabal of staff bypassed procedure", inspired by an Email to a university administrator from an unknown party.[12] Until October 2022, he was a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Plymouth's Cognition Institute, where he was studying audio description for blind and visually-impaired people.[13]
"Information terrorist"?
In October 2022, Coles was listed, along with 93 others, by the US-funded Ukrainian military's Center for Countering Disinformation as an "information terrorist" for his Gray Zone-published work on the Russia-Ukraine war.[14] The same month, a cabal of Plymouth University staff led by Associate Professor Jane Grant]][15] successfully conspired to terminate his position without due process, notice, or right of reply,[16] because of unspecified things Coles had written for Nexus.[17]
Censorship of New Dawn article
In January 2023, an article Coles wrote for New Dawn about the Christchurch mass shooting resulted in the magazine being pulled from the shelves of New Zealand retailers for raising questions about whether Brenton Tarrant had acted alone.[18]
Publications
Coles has written books on a variety of subjects, including war, neuroscience and economics. His books have been endorsed by, among others, Noam Chomsky, John Pilger, John Perkins, Dr. Susan Blackmore and John Kiriakou.[19]
