Academics

Ian was awarded First Class Honours in English Studies at the University of Nottingham, confirming his abilities in research, critical theory and analysis, presentation skills, literary analysis and creative writing. Ian believes that all academic fields are essentially complementary and inter-related, and continues to take a keen interest in the latest developments in politics, society, science and technology, culture, psychology, history and literature, all of which find expression in his work.

Ian hopes to refine his academic skills further in the future and use his writing skills to help bring the cutting edge of current research to mass audiences. If your organisation requires an individual with a strong combination of academic and writing or broadcasting abilities, Ian can help. Contact enquiries@iqkennedy.co.uk to get the ball rolling.
