In just over two months, “Foucault and Feminist Philosophy: Other Perspectives and Approaches,” the special issue of Feminist Philosophy Quarterly that I have guest-edited to commemorate the centennial anniversary of Foucault’s birth on October 15, 1926, will be published! I’m thrilled with the contents of the issue and eager to share them with you.

To increase your anticipation of the contents of the issue, I want to tell you what you can expect from this amazing tribute to Foucault and the influence, prospects, and possibilities of his work for feminist philosophy.

The issue will open with my editor’s introduction to the issue, which is entitled “Finally, Foucault: Re-framing Foucault from the Margins.”

My introduction will preface articles written by a stellar group of authors:

Mich Ciurria, “Old Discipline, New Medium: LLMs and the Neoliberal University”

Ying, “The Self-Formation of Sex Workers: A Foucauldian Reading of Xiaojie in Post-Socialist China”

Shelley Lynn Tremain, “Notes For a Feminist Abolitionist Genealogy of Bioethics”

Christina Lee, “Crip Zen”

Stephanie Jenkins, “On Becoming Incorrigible”

Perry Zurn, “A Foucauldian Account of Cisness”

These contributions to the issue will be followed by a wide-ranging interview with Ladelle McWhorter (author of Bodies and Pleasures: Foucault and the Politics of Sexual Normalization; Racism and Sexual Oppression in Anglo-America: A Genealogy; and Unbecoming Persons: The Rise and Demise of the Modern Moral Self) that Kristin Rodier and Emily R. Douglas conducted. This unforgettable addition to the archive is entitled “We’ve Been Taught to be Dishonest About Ourselves”: Cripping Genealogy in Conversation with Ladelle McWhorter.”

I cannot wait to share this outstanding issue with you later this summer!
