The Centre of Research into Teaching and Teacher Education invites
you to join us for a seminar given by Professor Stephen Ball to discuss
his latest Book Foucault as Educator, followed by an evening buffet in
the Upper Foyer.
In his latest book, Foucault as Educator, Stephen
considers Foucault as educator in three main ways. First,
through some consideration of what his work says about
education as a social and political practice. That is, education
as a form of what Allen (2014) calls benign violence –
which operates through mundane, quotidian disciplinary
technologies and expert knowledges which together construct
a ‘pedagogical machine’. Second, through an exploration of his
‘method’ as a form of critique. Third, through a discussion of
some of Foucault’s later work on subjectivity and in particular
on ‘the care of the self ’ or what we might call ‘a pedagogy of
the self ’. Each chapter introduces and discusses some relevant
examples from educational
settings to illustrate and enact
Foucault’s analytics.
