Ken Cole
Before joining the IISC as a visiting professor in 2008, Ken was Senior Lecturer and Director of the M.A. in Development Studies at the School of Development Studies in the University of East Anglia.
He has a wide experience of teaching and writing about development
issues, and has also acted as an advisor/consultant in Honduras, Nicaragua, El
Salvador, Swaziland, South Africa, Palestine and Bosnia-Herzegovina.
Although for many years he has had a fascination for the development enigma that is Cuba, he did not visit the island until 1996 when he was invited to offer a short course on economic theory and policy at the Ministry of Finance and Prices in Havana.
Since then he has been a frequent visitor, collaborating with Cuban colleagues in conferences and seminars.
