Dr Tom Sykes

Webinars and lectures relating to literature, journalism, travel writing, postcolonialism and Philippine studies presented by me, Dr Tom Sykes, Associate Professor of Creative Writing and Global Journalism at the University of Portsmouth, and a Fellow of the Royal Historical Society.

My book Realm of the Punisher (2018) is a 'political travelogue' of the Philippines which, according to the Times Literary Supplement, ‘conveys in an affectionate, unpatronizing tone the many layers of injustice that run through the Philippines.’  Imagining Manila (2021) prompted invitations to lecture at the Universities of Oxford, Sydney and Hawai’i. 

My latest book, Coast of Teeth, has received an endorsement from novelist Will Self.

I am a regular contributor to Private Eye and have written for New Statesman, The Scotsman, The Telegraph, Morning Star, New Internationalist and numerous media around the world.
