Biography
Kevin is a Senior Lecturer specialising in historical geography. His interests are in the legacies of state led education in the nineteenth century British Empire. This interacts with debates about decolonising the curriculum. Kevin teaches across a range of disciplines, but focuses on geopolitics, colonialism/post colonialism and research skills.
Before joining King’s, Kevin worked in the Department of Geography in Trinity College Dublin (TCD) from 2014-2016, where he taught a wide range of subjects across all disciplines of geography. He completed his PhD in 2013 and received a BA in Natural Science, also from TCD.
Research

The Institute moved to King’s College London in 2010, and the new King’s Contemporary British History builds on this by creating a larger and more diverse enterprise, building on that distinguished tradition.
