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.

I’ve posted page proofs for my forthcoming article on Foucault’s account of neoliberalism and criminal subjectivity on my Working Papers page. Our editors introduction should be along shortly, followed close behind by the entire journal volume.

In addition to the start of yet another quarter, I’ll be presenting some work at a few places in the coming weeks.

• Western PSA is just around the corner, and I’ll be presenting a very preliminary draft of some thoughts on Locke, Agamben, and criminal subjectivity.
• I’ll be talking a bit about the history of Maryland’s criminal disenfranchisement statutes at the annual Weissbourd Conference on Worldmaking in early April.

it is, apparently, time to get going again with the teaching. Updated syllabi are available on the courses page.

The final program for Le Carcéral, Sécurité, and Beyond is now available. It’s going to be a great little conference, so if you happen to be in Paris in a few weeks, you should totally come and argue about Foucault with us!

I’m giving a new paper (part of a chapter) on Foucault’s Naissance de la Biopolitique at the Crime and Punishment Workshop (Feb. 8th) and the Political Theory Workshop (Feb. 11th). It’s a first stab at Foucault’s understanding of the neo-liberal turn in criminology to homo Å“conomicus in Chicago School economics of crime and punishment (i.e. Becker, Stigler, Ehrlich). Mostly, it’ll be fun to see how poor my french translation skills are.

It’s apparently time to write, as I have been awarded a Teaching and Research Dissertation Fellowship, which provides me the next 6 months to focus entirely on writing, before teaching a section of Social and Political Thought III in the Spring Quarter.
