Research interests:
Rowland Curtis’ research interests centre on the politics of knowledge, representation and critique, and on the significance of dimensions of subjectivity and meaning for critical studies of management and organization. He also has a broad interest in contemporary debates in political and cultural theory, critical pedagogy, and the philosophy and methodology of the social sciences, with a specific interest in questions of critical and material practice and/or action perspectives. To date, Rowland has published academic articles in the "Culture & Organization" and "ephemera" journals and currently has work in review at the journal "Organization". He is currently in the process of preparing material for publication from his completed doctoral research project on “the UK Research Assessment Exercise and the politics of academic freedom”.
