Sir Kenneth Robinson (4 March 1950 – 21 August 2020) was a British author, speaker and international advisor on education in the arts to government, non-profits, education and arts bodies. He was director of the Arts in Schools Project (1985–1989) and Professor of Arts Education at the University of Warwick (1989–2001), and professor emeritus after leaving the university. In 2003, he was knighted for services to the arts.
Originally from a working-class Liverpool family, Robinson moved to Los Angeles with his wife and children around September 2001 to serve as senior advisor to the president of the J. Paul Getty Trust.
