| Future Practices of Citizenship in Asia and the West. The Care of the Self III | | This multi-disciplinary conference forms part of the Care of the Self project which has been investigating human agency in society, taking Michel Foucault's concept of the care of the self as its point of departure. The project's focus on citizenship and human rights in Asia and the West (and comparisons between them) is one of its unique selling points. Please see the website for information on previous publications and events.
