Call for Papers – Foucault Studies
Published twice yearly, the electronic journal Foucault Studies covers the full breadth of interests in Foucault's work, including power, politics, law, history, social and cultural theory, sexuality, race, religion, gender studies, psychoanalysis, philosophy, geography, architecture, education, health studies, management studies, media studies, and others.
Foucault Studies continues, now administered by a new editorial team with Sverre Raffnse (Copenhagen Business School) as Editor-in-chief and Alan Rosenberg (Queens College, City University of New York) as managing editor. It is not directly affiliated with the Foucault Society, but some members of the Society’s Advisory Board and Board of Directors are involved with the Journal and we strongly encourage their efforts.
The next issue appears December 2007.
