Sir Niall Ferguson Joins The Times
The Times announces Sir Niall Ferguson has joined as a contributing writer and will write 12 exclusive pieces per year. He offers his unique insights on history, politics, economics, and global affairs.
Sir Niall Ferguson is one of the world’s most distinguished historians and authors. Over the course of his prolific career, he has authored 16 acclaimed books and produced numerous television documentaries. His most recent book, Doom: The Politics of Catastrophe, explores the history of disasters and their implications for the modern world.
His other notable work includes a TV series he wrote and presented for Channel 4 on the British Empire. The accompanying book, Empire: The Rise and Demise of the British World Order, became a bestseller in the UK and US. Its sequel, Colossus: The Rise and Fall of the American Empire, earned him a place on Time magazine’s list of the 100 most influential people.
Sir Niall has received several other accolades, including the Hayek Prize for Lifetime Achievement and the British Press Awards’ Columnist of the Year in 2018. He is currently the Milbank Family Senior Fellow at the Hoover Institution, Stanford University, and a senior faculty fellow of the Belfer Center for Science and International Affairs at Harvard.
Sir Niall Ferguson said:
“I’m delighted to be returning to the fold of The Times, five years after leaving my weekly Sunday Times column. A monthly essay will be a perfect opportunity to put the frenetic changes we see in the world around us into historical perspective, beginning with the frenetic opening weeks of Donald Trump’s historic second term.”
Tony Gallagher, editor of The Times, said:
“Sir Niall Ferguson is a historian and academic of extraordinary breadth and depth, whose work has shaped public debate across the globe. We are delighted to have him join The Times as a contributing writer, and we know our readers will greatly value his insights.”
His first article will be published online at The Times on Friday, January 31, and available in the print edition on Saturday, February 1.
