CANCELLED SSC Seminar Series: Bill Staples

CANCELLED Bill Staples, PhD, Department of Sociology, University of Kansas



Documenting the Body; Creating the Self: governance and the modern birth certificate


MacCorry Room D411 (Sociology lounge)

CANCELLED

Staples argues that the deployment of the birth certificate is a practice centered on the regulation of bodies, the government of conduct, and the formation of the self. An examination of this form of identification offers insights into the changing relationship between citizen and state in the modern era.
