New Date for the Workshop "Historicizing Foucault: What does this mean?": March 19–21, 2015!

The workshop "Historicizing Foucault: What does this mean?" will be postponed: instead of the scheduled date in November, the event takes place in Zurich from March 19 to 21, 2015. We, the editors of the G+C Blog, had to make this change because the project budget could not match up to the international interest in our workshop. Until June 30, we received sixty proposals from all over the world which we reviewed individually and then in group meetings. We finally agreed to invite twelve presenters, seven from Europe and five from the USA. After the selection, we realized that our financial means did not suffice to cover the costs of travel and accommodations for the contributors whose abstracts convinced us most. In the next months, we will therefore raise additional funding for the workshop "Historicizing Foucault: What does this mean?", to be held in Zurich from March 19 to 21, 2015. We invite all interested people to participate in our event and are pleased to announce the list of presenters:
