Timothy J. Dunne is a British scholar of
international relations, currently serving as Provost and Senior Vice-President at the
University of Surrey.[1] He is also an Emeritus Professor at the
University of Queensland, where he was previously Deputy Provost and Dean of Humanities and Social Sciences.[2]
Dunne completed his undergraduate degree at the
University of East Anglia in 1989, and received his MPhil and DPhil in International Relations from
St Antony's College, Oxford.[3] Before his move to the University of Queensland, he was Professor of International Relations at the
University of Exeter where he served as Dean of the College of Social Sciences.[4]
His theoretical research interests connect to an applied agenda. He has published widely on human rights, on foreign policy (with particular reference to the United Kingdom), on the changing dynamics of world order after
9/11, and on global responsibility for the protection of human rights. He writes for UK and international media, including The Guardian.[7]
In May 2024, Dunne initiated a brutal series of redundancies (under the guise of mainly coerced ‘voluntary’ severance) which sparked a Vote of No Confidence in him, the Vice-Chancellor and the rest of the Executive Board of the University.
