Welcome Andrew!
Can I recommend you have a chat to Paul Adams at the University of Hull
(also a lecturer in teacher ed doing his PhD - he's a nice guy, as well
as good scholar and would welcome an international conversation along
these lines).
From what I understand of his work, he has a problem with terms and
concepts of 'best practice' and looks at UK policy from a similarly
critical stance. It is always helpful to make connections with
international folk, particularly ones at a similar point in the academic
cycle.
Comparative papers are especially interesting in this area...
Cheers

I am a Lecturer in Teacher Education (from Melbourne-Australia-RMIT
University) and am also completing my Phd-a critique of purely
positivist classroom teacher effectiveness research and inquiry. I have
drawn extensively on Bourdieu and Foucault. Foucault forms the second
chapter of my thesis-literature review. I am especially interested in
his ideas of: regimes of truth, subjectivity, discursive practice,
governmentality and technologies of power. I am using his ideas to
interrogate the idea of effective teaching practice and policy-making
and how that disadvantageously positions classroom teachers.
Cheers
Andrew

Hi, Cheryl,
Your research sounds exciting to me! I agree with your "Lucky me!"
comment. I don't know Professor Jenn Gore, but
I enjoyed and learned so much from her work.
Several of my colleagues (from different disciplines) were part of a
Foucault literature circle two years ago. We wrote various articles
based on his power/knowledge ideas.
I am a retired literacy teacher, was an adjunct for many years. and now
am working in the special education & literacy department.
Please, keep me informed about your research. If you have any questions
for me, I am an email away.
Thank you for informing us of your research,
Roberta

Subject: Re: Classroom studies and Foucault
I am a doctoral candidate at The University of Newcastle of Newcastle,
Australia. My supervisor is Professor Jenny Gore (lucky me!). I am in
final stages, studying power relations in teacher induction, through
analysing the early years of teaching experience for a two cohorts of
teacher ed graduates- my own PhD study group and a much larger group who
were part of Prof Gore's research. I am using Foucault's
power/knowledge/discipline ideas alongside Gore's techniques of power to
examine construction of self, teaching quality and relations with
others.... any advice thoughts/ welcome as well!
I might add that unfortunately for us here AERA falls in the middle of
semester next year, so teaching responsibilities will unfortunately need
to take precedence over attendance for 2010.I'd like to keep up contact
with the group though!
regards Cheryl

I am also a doctoral student in West London and will be drawing
Foucault. I am studying South-Asian adolescent girls and their cultural
experiences within the context of the secondary school setting, family
life, social contexts etc... Any advice is welcome.

I am a doctoral candidate writing my prospectus. In reviewing the
literature, I have encountered several articles of original sources
addressing Foucalt's work. I am looking forward to receiving continued
scholarly interaction on this and other topics! This is GREAT!

s it OK to ask a question like this?
We are studying classroom video recordings and would like to develop
what could
e called a foucauldian framework here for analyses (or for instance to
Ian
ackings notions on looping when relating the works of Foucault and
Goffman). Is
here anybody out there working on such issues?
ll the best from Sweden,
