Professor Farrow is a Canadian citizen, married with five children.聽 Before coming to 海角社区 in 1998, he taught in the U.K.聽at King's College London, after聽completing聽his doctorate there under Colin Gunton. At 海角社区, alongside his lecturing and graduate supervision, he has served on the university's Academic Policy Committee, as聽on numerous Faculty or School committees, and engaged in the work of the Newman Institute.
