Date: Monday 5 February 2007
Time: 6.30-8pm
Venue: Hong Kong Theatre, Clement House
Speaker: Professor Nikolas Rose
Chair: Dr Derek Hook
This talk considers what it means to approach psychology as a 'social' science in a specific sense - that is to say it sketches out an approach to the analysis of the part that psychology - its languages, techniques, forms of expertise, self-technologies - played across the twentieth century in the development of social-welfare rationalities and technologies of government.
Professor Nikolas Rose is Professor of Sociology and director of the BIOS Research Centre for the study of Bioscience, Biomedicine, Biotechnology and Society at LSE.
