Dr Timmon Milne Wallis 2016
TIMMON MILNE WALLIS was born in Boston, Massachusetts and moved with his family to Cullen on the Moray Firth. He did his O grade and Higher exams at Buckie High School and studied politics and international relations at the University of Aberdeen. He then discovered the peace studies course at Bradford University in West Yorkshire and ended up getting a PhD from there.
Timmon spent several years living at a peace camp and campaigning against the building of a nuclear cruise missile base at RAF Molesworth in Cambridgeshire. He then went on to be international secretary of Peace Brigades International (PBI), editor of Peace News magazine, director of the National Peace Council, founder and director of Peaceworkers UK, training manager for International Alert and executive director of Nonviolent Peaceforce. He also had a brief stint working for the Hollywood actor, Forest Whitaker, before returning to the UK in 2014 to work for Quaker Peace & Social Witness, where he is now job-sharing the position of Programme Manager for Peace and Disarmament.
Timmon has two grown daughters, who are both artists. When he is not writing or campaigning, He spends his time singing and performing his own peace and protest songs. He has written numerous articles on peace-related issues. His first book, Satyagraha, the Gandhian Approach to Nonviolent Social Change, was published by Pittenbruach Press in 1984.
