He is a well-established author who is widely published in several fields including social research and social theory. He is editing a new book series entitled Issues in Society for Open University Press and continuing research into reflexivity in social science, as well as management, power and organizational change.Malcolm Williams has been an academic since 1990 and has worked at City University in London and, since 1992, the University of Plymouth. His empirical research has been in rural-urban population change and housing need. He is interested in problems of methodology and the philosophical foundations of research, on which he co-authored a book with Tim May, and the relationship of science to social science, which is the subject of a new book he is currently writing.
