Ken works in the Institute of Education in the Faculty of Arts, Humanities and Business at the University of Plymouth in the UK and has published widely and presented at a number of international conferences on the philosophy of education, research methodologies and collaborative approaches to education practices. His current research involves the use of more than simply human approaches to theorising and inquiry, in encounters with creative and relational space making and the in/formational play between discursively constructed and materially constituted aspects of pedagogy and research in contemporary education. His most recent book, Writing and Immanence: Concept making and the reorientation of thought in pedagogy and inquiry is due for publication by Routledge at the end of 2022.

To date, I have supervised six students/doctoral candidates to successful completion of their doctorates.

Ken's main teaching interests are within the philosophy of education, the study of post structural theory and narrative and autoethnographic inquiry as they may be applied to teacher education and continuing professional development . Ken has written and currently teaches modules on the masters and BA programmes within the faculty on the philosophy of education, gender studies, discourse theory, higher education in further education contexts and narrative approaches to education.
