BBC ‘From our own correspondent’ on Nigeria

Yesterday’s BBC radio From Our Own Correspondent had a section on family planning in Nigeria, and discusses projects Susan works with. The section on Nigeria begins about 18 minutes in. Another recent programme had a few minutes on the situation in Northern Nigeria. I’m back to Nigeria on Wednesday, though to Abuja.

A note on Philippe Chevallier’s Michel Foucault et le christianisme

by Colin Gordon, July 2012

See here for details of the book

Philippe Chevallier’s Michel Foucault et le christianisme waspublished in France by ENS Editions  last December. Foucault’s recently, and imminently to be published work (notably the 1984,  1980 and Louvain lectures) are adding substantially to the available fraction of his unfinished work on the Christian genealogy and archaeology of knowledge, power and ethics, and it is likely that earlier major works including the History of Madness will be profitably revisited in this new light.
