Radical Foucault – An International Conference
September 8 & 9, 2011. 9.30am – 6.30pm
University of East London
The Centre for Cultural Studies Research at the University of East London is
pleased to announce that registration is now open for Radical Foucault, a two
day conference which will re-assess Foucault's contribution to radical
thought and the application of his ideas to contemporary politics. What does
it mean to draw on Foucault as a resource for radical politics, and how are
we to understand the politics which implicitly informs his work?
Keynote speakers:
Stuart Elden, Professor in the Department of Geography, Durham University.
Mark Kelly, Lecturer in Philosophy, Middlesex University.
David Macey, Special Professor in Translation, University of Nottingham
Anne Schwan, Lecturer in English Literature, Edinburgh Napier University
Stephen Shapiro, Professor in the Department of English and Comparative
Literary Studies, Warwick University.
Couze Venn, Emeritus Professor of Cultural Theory at the Theory, Culture &
Society Centre, Nottingham Trent University and Managing Editor and Review
Editor of Theory, Culture & Society.
Two Days: £120
One Day: £70
To register, please go to http://uel.ac.uk/foucault
Please note that registration includes lunches and other refreshments during
the conference, but not accommodation or evening meals.
We will plan a dinner for the Thursday evening nearer the time and will
contact all delegates to invite them to take part, but payment for this will
be organised separately.
The conference will take place in the East Building, University of East
London, Docklands Campus, London, E16 2RD.
If you need information about accommodation near the campus, then the easiest
place to find it is at http://www.excel-london.co.uk/visitors/hotels (the
Excel conference centre is very near to the campus), but we would also
recommend searching online for accommodation in more central parts of town if
that is your preference (the journey from central London to the campus
normally takes 40-60 minutes).
Full programme details will be published shortly.
