# Tim Dunne

Timothy J. Dunne is a British scholar of international relations, currently serving as Provost and Senior Vice-President at the University of Surrey. He is also an Emeritus Professor at the University of Queensland, where he was previously Deputy Provost and Dean of Humanities and Social Sciences.
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. 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.
As a theorist, Dunne has written on many paradigms, but his primary theoretical interest is in the English school. He has served as an associate editor for several journals, including the Review of International Studies (1998-2002), the International Journal of Human Rights (2000-2004), and was an editor of the European Journal of International Relations. (2009-2013)
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 and The Conversation. Latterly he has published occasional commentaries on higher education including articles in The Times Higher.
He is an elected Fellow of the Academy of Social Sciences, Australia; and serves on the board of Farnborough College of Technology.
