Synopsis

Why Foucault ? provides an analysis of new directions in educational research, focusing on the utilization, application, and development of Michel Foucault's work by drawing on the contributions of leading international scholars in the field. The essays in this collection go beyond the introductory and expository to explore new themes and applications to educational theory, policy, practice, and politics. This book provides truly international coverage, focusing on recent work in English by leading Foucault scholars in the field of education and also on that by Continental thinkers from Germany and Belgium, all of whom have published extensively on Foucault.
