This roundtable will take up Daniel Wyche's 2025 monograph /The Care of the Self and the Care of the Other/ to work through the critical possibilities for the care of self and others that kept Foucault working even unto his 1984 death.
Through different disciplinary prisms, Ellen Armour, Sonam Kachru, and Adam Stern respond to Wyche's work on the relationship between the ethical transformation of the self and the political transformation of the world. These dialectics of resistance and transformation spoke to Foucault, and they are even more necessary in our current climate.
Niki Kasumi Clements presides and Daniel Wyche responds, but we will distribute to all participants the "Foucault" chapter so we might collectively discuss what to do together.
