Foucault Now!
How can we apply Foucault's ideas today to issues that
were important to him 30 years ago? In the wake of events
ranging from Abu Gahbi to the No Child Left Behind Act,
what questions need to be asked about issues like discipline,
education, and surveillance? This day-long series of presentations,
art events, and discussions will present some Foucauldian
views.
This is the first major event hosted by the Foucault Society.
The speakers and participants will be focusing on issues
such as the use of torture, surveillance and politics, and
the role of pedagogy in today's educational system. Participants
include leading scholars from the New York region, including
Larry Sullivan of the John Jay College of Criminal Justice
and Frank Pignatelli of Bank Street College of Education.
Selected speakers include:
