Share The vast extent of Foucault’s influence across disciplines is demonstrated by the fact that he remains one of the most-cited researchers in the humanities and social sciences. As such, the French publication of “Les aveux de la chair” in 2018 and the long-awaited English translation in February 2021 have given scholars much to discuss. This May, Rice professors Niki Kasumi Clements and James Faubion are co-hosting many of the foremost Foucault experts in the world to do just that. Foucault’s Confessions is a monthlong virtual series Clements organized with support from the Department of Religion and the Humanities Research Center, featuring 10 online talks between May 4 and June 3. The talks will take place on Tuesdays and Thursdays at 11 a.m. and will be followed by discussions.
