His political writings have appeared in the peer-reviewed journals, Peace Review[8] and Ethical Space.[9] In 2013, he was short-listed for the Martha Gellhorn Prize for a series of articles about NATO's destruction of Libya.[10]

Activities

Until October 2022, Coles was a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Plymouth's Cognition Institute, where he was studying audio description for blind and visually-impaired people.[11]

He co-founded the Plymouth Institute for Peace Research (PIPR), "a centre for interdisciplinary research groups and grassroots activists dedicated to peace and justice".[12]

Controversy

In October 2022, Coles was listed, along with 93 others, by the US-funded Ukrainian military's Center for Countering Disinformation as an "information terrorist" for his Gray Zone-published work on the Russia-Ukraine war.[14] The same month, a cabal of Plymouth University staff led by Associate Professor Jane Grant]][15] successfully conspired to terminate his position without due process, notice, or right of reply,[16] because of unspecified things Coles had written for Nexus.[17]

In January 2023, an article Coles wrote for New Dawn resulted in the magazine being pulled from the shelves of New Zealand retailers for raising questions about whether Brenton Tarrant had acted alone in the Christchurch mass shooting.[18]
