Full Description
Foucauldian Philosophy and Implications for Educational Research examines the lectures given at the Collège de France between 1970 and 1984 by the French intellectual Michel Foucault, exploring their implications for educational inquiry and research.
The chapters in this volume offer close readings of all 13-lecture series to initiate a discussion about how each contributes to educational inquiry in the contemporary moment. The objective of this book is to consider how Foucault's lectures can serve as a viable analytical toolbox for educational researchers. The authors provide a brief contextual background for each year's lectures, summarize the key themes, and present possible research avenues for educational researchers. This book allows new readers of Foucault to glimpse his thinking and analytic processes, while offering seasoned interlocutors an in-depth understanding of how the lectures influenced his better-known works, such as Discipline and Punish and History of Sexuality (Volumes I-IV), and more broadly his work on ethics, power/knowledge, truth, and the care of the self.
Recommended reading for graduate students and researchers interested in Foucault studies, philosophy of education, critical theory, and educational studies.
