COLLOQUIUM: Foucault and/in the Social Sciences
12th-13th of November 2007
Monash University, Gippsland Campus
Churchill Victoria
CALL FOR ABSTRACTS
The work of Michel Foucault is being employed in exciting ways across the social sciences. The concepts of governmentality, technologies of the self, power/knowledge, discursive practices, bio-power, genealogy, subjectivation, amongst others, are prompting new questions and new methodologies. The key objective of this colloquium is to bring together Australian and New Zealand social science researchers who engage with and apply Foucault's thought in their own empirical investigations. We wish to provide a space for mutual inspiration and challenge. What does Foucauldian social science look like and what does it do?
Confirmed key-note speakers are:
Professor Mitchell Dean, Division of Society, Culture, Media and Philosophy, Macquarie University
Professor Carol Bacchi, School of History and Politics, The University of Adelaide
Dr Joanne Ailwood, Centre for Learning Innivation, School of Early Childhood, Queensland University of Technology
Dr Lynda Cheshire, School of Social Science, The University of Queensland
Participants will present papers of 20 minutes duration during workshops organised around key Foucauldian concepts. Interested researchers and postgraduate students are invited to submit an abstract of 200 words (please include: name and institution of author(s), contact details, title of paper, abstract, and 1-3 key Foucauldian concepts around which the paper revolves). There will be a limit of 50 participants, who will be selected based on the relevance of their papers to the objectives of the colloquium.
Please submit the abstract to Foucault.Colloquium@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx by June 1, 2007.
Upon acceptance of abstract participants will be asked to pay a registration fee of $80, which covers registration and morning and afternoon tea for the two days. An invitation to the colloquium dinner on Monday night will also be issued, as will accomodation and transport details.
