Foucault Studies
Foucault Studies is a biannual English language journal that, in light of the continuously developing interest in the work of the French thinker Michel Foucault within the English-speaking world and elsewhere, aims to provide a forum for discussion of Foucault which goes beyond received orthodoxies, simplifications and uncritical appropriations. The journal is available online, and is free to anyone who wishes to use it. All articles published in Foucault Studies have gone through peer-review and standard editorial procedures. Additionally, the editors invite contributions from across a wide range of specializations, interests and viewpoints.

Michel Foucault
Michel Foucault (15 October 1926 – 25 June 1984) was a French philosopher, historian, critic and sociologist. He held a chair at the Collège de France with the title "History of Systems of Thought," and also taught at the University of California, Berkeley.

Aside from being widely used at the research level, Foucault's work is also commonly referred to in university courses across the humanities and the social sciences as well as in applied professional disciplines such as education, architecture and social work. There are several research and discussion networks in existence which focus on his work, including the Centre Michel Foucault in Paris, the History of the Present groups in Canada and the UK, the Foucault Circle in the USA, and a new Centro de Estudios Multidisciplinarios Michel Foucault in Mexico.

Aims of the Journal
In particular, the journal seeks to publish work which utilizes not only the more familiar material by Foucault but also the wide range of material made available by the 1994 publication in French of a four volume collection of over 360 of Foucault's shorter writings and the more recent (and ongoing) publication of his lectures. Much of this material is still in the process of being translated into English, and it revolutionizes ways of thinking about his work.

Recognizing that Foucault's work is being used productively across the globe and across a whole range of disciplines, the journal invites submissions of material that not only deals with his work directly but also material that critiques, updates and augments his claims across very diverse geographical, disciplinary and historical domains. The journal aims to cover the full breadth of these interests, including power, politics, law, history, social and cultural theory, sexuality, race, religion, gender studies, psychoanalysis, philosophy, geography, architecture, education, health studies, management studies, media studies as well as others. The journal also invites translations of shorter pieces from Foucault's oeuvre, and carries book reviews and conference and seminar reports.
