Dr Kevin Ryan

Profile

Kevin Ryan is lecturer at the School of Political Science & Sociology, University of Galway, and a graduate of Crawford College of Art & Design, Cork. In his research, he explores freedom as a practice which is socially and historically conditioned by power relations, with a particular focus on childhood as the locus of biosocial power. Kevin also publishes occasionally under the joint name of Two Fuse, which is a collaboration with Dublin-based artist Fiona Whelan (https://www.fionawhelan.com/).
