Subject: Re: Schools and Foucault


Ben,
  I know of nothing by Foucault himself, but there are Foucauldian studies
of schools and schooling.  The most useful I've found are:

   Hunter, Ian (1996) 'Assembling the School' in Andrew Barry, et. al.
(eds) _Foucault and Political Reason_  London: UCL
   _____ (1994) _Rethinking the School: subjectivty, bureaucracy,
criticism_  Allen & Unwin
   _____ (1993) 'The Pastoral Bureaucracy: Towards a less Principled
Understanding of State Schooling' in Meredyth, D. and Tyler, D. (eds)
_Child and Citizen: Genealogies of Schooling and Subjectivity_  Queensland
   _____ (1993) 'Culture, Bureaucracy and the History of Popular Education'
in Meredyth, D. and 	Tyler, D. (eds) _Child and Citizen: Genealogies of
Schooling and Subjectivity_  Queensland
   Jones, Kevin. and Williamson, Karen. (1979) 'The birth of the
schoolroom' in _Ideology and Consciousness_ 6, pp. 58-110

You might also take a look at:

   Apple, Michael (1980) _Education and power_  Routledge
   Callan, Eamonn (1997) _Creating citizens: political education and
liberal democracy_ Oxford, 	Clarendon Press
   Green, Andy (1990) _Education and state formation: the rise of education
systems in England, 	France, and the USA_  New York, St. Martin's Press
