> Power & Knowledge
> The 2nd International Conference, Tampere, September 6-8, 2010
> Call for Session Proposals
>
>
> Inspired by the great success of the first conference (Power:
> Forms, Dynamics and Consequences, September 22-24, 2008), we carry
> on probing questions of power. This time the conference
> concentrates on the links between power and knowledge.
>
> As is well known, Michel Foucault argued that power and knowledge
> are like two sides of the same coin. There are however many other
> approaches and research traditions that tackle the role of
> knowledge production in affecting and constituting power relations.
>
> What are the roles of science, research and research-based
> knowledge production in promoting policy models? Does scientific
> research or evidence-based consultancy save the world and lead us
> to a better future? What effects does the key role of knowledge
> production in contemporary societies have on power and politics?
> How are the established databases and statistical classifications
> of the public and private organizations constructed and reproduced?
> What is the role of everyday knowledge in society? What is the
> relationship between knowledge and resistance?
>
> By bringing together scholars who approach these questions from
> different angles this conference will advance our understanding
> about power relations in social reality.
>
> Keynote speakers will include:
> - Patrick Carroll
> - Gili S. Drori
> - Susan Haack
> - Sakari Hänninen
> - Michael Mann
> - Yuval Millo
> - Soile Veijola
> - (to be announced)
>
