Tomorrow marks the 100th anniversary of Michel Foucault’s birth in Poitiers, France on October 15, 1926. A number of events and publications have been initiated to mark the occasion. Many conferences and workshops have already taken place earlier in the year. Various publications to mark this momentous occasion have appeared throughout the year, including special issues of Foucault Studies and the publication of the landmark The Foucauldian Mind, edited by Daniele Lorenzini. Other events will take place tomorrow or during the next couple of months. I, myself, am involved in a couple of them.

(My apologies that this post and the information included in it appears here so late. I have been without access to a working computer for the last several days and have had only limited access to the internet, social media, etc. on my phone.)

Some noteworthy events and details:

The amazing Clare O’Farrell of Foucault News has compiled a list of publications and events intended to commemorate the day. You can find Clare’s list here: Foucault Centenary | Foucault News

A citation to the special issue of Feminist Philosophy Quarterly that I guest edited on the theme “Foucault and Feminist Philosophy: Other Perspectives and Approaches” is included in Clare’s list of events and publications.
