SAGSA Symposium
Conference Information
Spent almost 7 hours last friday sitting in a conference room (apprx. 100 people i would guess) listening to some wonderful academics talk about issues that surround Foucaultian theories on fear and risk as well as biopower. It was a very interesting symposium, with 7 guest speakers in total topped off with coffee, pastries, wine and cheese.

It was interesting to be in that type of academic forum, although i am still at the stage where i dont feel comfortable to approach any of the speakers. I am not ready for commentaries per se, but I definitly enjoy digesting the knowledge - eventually it will manifest itself in some conversation or other. Actually got to use a quote from Dr. Alan Hunt from his talk "Governing Through Anxiety" for my last poli sci paper, so its all good!
