Dr Kevin McDonald
Dr Kevin McDonald holds a DEA and Doctorate
from Ecole des Hautes Etudes en Sciences Sociales in Paris. Before
joining the Sociology Program at the University of Melbourne in
1996 he taught at the Phillip Institute and RMIT. Kevin's research
focuses on questions of action and identity, in particular in the
world of young people: from the experience of groups living contemporary
social problems such as poverty and urban dislocation, to exploring
new forms of commitment and identity in social movements. His research
currently is focussed in two areas: this project exploring the construction
of identity and social relationship among drug users, and he is
currently writing a book on global movements.
