Hello David
Have you seen the book: The Foucault Effect? As I recall, there are some parts of that relate to education. Not sure. I will see if I can find that material on Monday (I can no longer access hotmail at rmit). Patrick Diamond of OISE at UofToronto referred to Foucault Effect (I think it was that book) in 1998 relating to a D.Ed from University of Melbourne thesis he examined, which is what got me onto Foucault in the first place.
My research was informed by that D.Ed thesis (Ling 1998) and Diamond's suggestion for future research via Foucault. If you look at my thesis Chapter 3, you might find what you are looking for (or something to get you in the right direction): http://intergon.net/phd (it is there in MSWord - so you can do a word search on Foucault and power to find things quickly). Just click on the hottext labelled "Chapter 3".

Hi everyone.
I'm wondering if anyone on this list can direct me towards foucaultian writings on education - either on power or ethics - that actually discuss, in some sort of concrete sense, the actual practices of education in schools? I am aware, of course, of the passages in Discipline and Punish on the school, but every time I read a paper on Foucault written by someone in Education it seems to say very little about schooling and classroom practice. The Olssen book being one case in point, articles by Michael Peters being another - regardless of any merits they might or might not have as theoretical readings of Foucault. I'm working on a group research project for a Dip.Ed. (sucks, I know) and I'm finding that it looks like I'm going to have to invent the wheel on this. Any suggestions?

I'm currently doing my dissertation in Education on recent changes in the construction of the student-object in education research and policy (increasingly casting the student in bio-reductive, specifically neurological, terms). I'm wondering if anybody out there can point me to works done on "accountability" discourse from a Foucauldian perspective.
I realize that accountability discourse is usually construed as a form of disciplinary power; I'm interested in exploring the new bio-reductive techniques, and the ways they link to various discourses, marking extensions and changes to disciplinary force. There seems indeed to be an increasing link between accountability and this bio-reductivism.
Thanks so much, Ed_______________________________________________
