Original Post (January 23, 2008): "Foucault Across the Disciplines" will be a national conference providing a forum for assessing and reassessing the tremendous impact of Michel Foucault’s thought across the disciplines over the past half century. This conference will convene an interdisciplinary group of scholars of world and national renown to explore the many ways in which Foucault’s work is being deployed across the disciplines. These cross-disciplinary deployments assume at least two forms: they are challenges to the disciplines that define our academic research formations, and they are critiques of specific disciplinary apparatuses. We hope to establish lines of engagement that will extend innovative research paths beyond the current limits of inquiry. Speakers include: Arnold Davidson, Ian Hacking, Martin Jay, Mark Poster, Paul Rabinow, Jana Sawicki, Hans Sluga, Hayden White, among others.
