Willcock's publications examine intersections between Victorian colonialism, visual archives, and historical violence. His 2021 monograph Victorian Visions of War and Peace analyzes how photography and the illustrated press shaped Victorian colonial experiences through war imagery, landscape art, and museum cultures. His current research explores art-violence dynamics during the Victorian era.
His work has received funding from major institutions including the Art and Humanities Research Council, Paul Mellon Centre for British Art, and Leverhulme Trust. Key themes include visual sovereignty, ephemeral war imagery, and digitized historical photography as tools for understanding colonial power structures.
