William Allchorn
Dr William Allchorn is an Adjunct Associate Professor in Politics and International Relations at Richmond, the American University in London. He is an expert on radical-right extremist social movements in the UK, Western Europe, and globally. He has most recently advised the UK, US, and Australian governments on their approaches to radical-right extremism. His first book, Anti-Islamic Protest in the UK: Policy Responses to the Far Right was published by Routledge in 2018. Recently, William’s research has shifted to studying the violent far-right threat landscape. As of August 2020, for example, he has started a new research project, testing violent far-right extremist counter-narratives in the UK, US, and Australia. His forthcoming book based on the project, Moving beyond Islamist Extremism - Assessing Counter Narrative Responses to the Global Far Right, was published by Ibidem (an imprint of Columbia University Press) in early 2022.
