A historian focused on race, empire, and political radicalism, Theo Williams's research interests include global histories of Black radicalism and anti-colonialism, and the transnational movements of people and ideas that have reshaped British society and political culture. His significant monograph, 'Making Revolution Global: Black Radicalism in the British Socialist Movement and Decolonisation' (Verso, 2022), argues that Pan-Africanist ideas significantly reconfigured the politics of the broader British socialist movement during the period in question. Currently, Williams is engaged in a major project investigating anti-colonialism and Worldism in Britain from around 1945 to 1990. He completed his PhD in History at King’s College London in 2019 and has worked as a fixed-term lecturer in modern British history at Durham University from 2020 to 2023 before joining the University of Glasgow as a lecturer in social history in 2023.
