David R. Cole works as an educational researcher at Western Sydney University, Australia. He is currently the theme leader of Globalisation research at the Centre for Educational Research (CER). He has dedicated his career to understanding how the work of Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari can be used to critique, enliven and change educational practice. This endeavour has led to more than 100+ publications and thirteen books in this field. Cole thinks in an international context and has completed 12 major research projects that have investigated how the ideas of Deleuze and Guattari work in an empirical sense.
