Adam's research connects:

  • Research and academic experience in philosophy, education, and educational administration.
  • Over 15 years' of experience in language and vocational education in Australia and Japan, including the management of educational centres and courses.

He is also a member of the International Foucault Collective for the study of Educational Leadership, Administration and Policy.

Adam takes an historical and philosophical approach to the field of educational administration (EA).

He is currently interested in the "leaderisation" of contemporary EA discourse. This refers to the construal of EA research, policy, and practice in terms of "leadership" theory.
