Bio

Kay co-ordinates research for the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences. She is particularly interested in the ways that educational knowledge and praxis is adapted and transferred from one location to another, in culture theory and transnational methodology. Kay’s recent research has focused on the development of education policy in New Zealand, learning experiences of mature students undertaking tertiary study; analyses of New Zealand education policy; ongoing critiques of the Performance Based Research Fund (PBRF) and women’s higher education.
