Insight Into

Joanna Crosby and Dianna Taylor: The theme of this special section of Foucault Studies, “Foucauldian Spaces,” emerged out of the 2016 meeting of the Foucault Circle, where the four of you were participants. Each of the three individual papers contained in the special section critically deploys and/or reconceptualizes an aspect of Foucault’s work that engages and offers particular insight into the construction, experience, and utilization of space. We’d like to ask the four of you to reflect on what makes a space Foucauldian, and whether or not (and why or why not) you’d consider the space created by the convergence of and intellectual exchanges among an international group of Foucault scholars at the University of New South Wales in the summer of 2016 to be Foucauldian.

Thomas Gerald Room, Professor of Mathematics in the University of Sydney from 1935 until his retirement in 1968, died at his home near Sydney on 2 April 1986, at the age of 83. Born and educated in England, he came to Sydney in his early thirties and made it his adopted home. He was a classical geometer with unusual gifts of intuition and combinatorial skill, who will be particularly remembered for his profound insight into configurations in higher dimensional projective space. He and his slightly older contemporary, T. M. Cherry, were the elder statesmen of Australian mathematics in their time. He exerted enormous influence on the course of mathematics in New South Wales at both school and university levels and will be remembered by mathematicians, mathematics teachers and generations of students.
