Research

Cole's approach is to treat educational phenomena as a form of material analysis. In so doing, he applies concepts derived from the work of Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari to the in-depth study of educational processes that simultaneously works on the micro and macro levels. He has recently been using 'immanent materialism' in this context and been developing a new approach to educational methodology since 1996.
