The book is coming along nicely, and I’ve posted an updated prospectus for the project, now tentatively entitled, Punishment and Inclusion. I’ll hopefully be posting new information soon about the Carceral Notebooks Volume 6, that I’m editing, which should be out in the Winter.
Just got back from an amazing time at Law, Culture, and the Humanities, talking about pardon powers in Rousseau, Hegel, and Derrida. About to head to WPSA and Foucault Circle in the next few weeks to present new work on Foucault’s ethics and human capital theory. In the meantime, the CV has been updated to reflect some good news on some old work finally coming out in print.
Three drafts of articles in progress are now available on the papers page. I have also uploaded a teaching statement on the courses page.
While we await the shipment of hard copies of The Carceral Notebooks, Vol. 4: Discipline, Security, and Beyond: Rethinking Michel Foucault’s 1978 & 1979 Collège de France Lectures, we have posted the entire issue online in PDF format for your enjoyment. So, go and enjoy!
Updated versions of my research summaries and cv are online now, with more updates in the works. Syllabi for the autumn quarter are also forthcoming.
