Abstract:
Foucault has been mobilized in a number of disciplines, including education, in order to create and recreate knowledge by placing various histories, minor texts, and social practices next to one another through genealogy. The effective histories produced through genealogy are meant to disrupt our understanding of the way things are by introducing discontinuity, power relations, and knowledge production into and under traditional progressive histories. This session will feature five papers that put Foucaultian genealogy to work as curriculum theory, policy studies, and identity formation and normalization.

Systems of Reasoning in the Idea of Education Reforms for Economic Development: The Finnish Context
*Bethsaida Nieves (University of Wisconsin - Madison - [log in to unmask])
Chair: Joshua J. Kurz (The Ohio State University) [log in to unmask]
Abstract:
Contemporary educational policy studies typically focus on issues of accountability and efficiency, and are bounded up in conceptions of the nation-state and international economic competition. Education reform is becoming a common sense notion because it feels like the right thing to do, but how is it happening and what are its effects? This session brings together five papers that highlight the workings and connections of global economic reform from a variety of international contexts. Policies and practices in the United States, United Kingdom, Finland, and the Netherlands are explored using the works of Michel Foucault as analytic matrices.
