The Department of English at Central University of Punjab (CU Punjab) successfully organized the inaugural lecture of its “Lecture Series on Languages, Literature, Culture, and Theory” featuring an engaging and insightful talk by Professor Johanna Oksala, the Arthur J. Schmitt Professor of Philosophy at Loyola University, Chicago.

The lecture, titled "Michel Foucault and Critiques of Neoliberalism," offered a profound analysis of Foucault’s ideas. Professor Oksala provided a detailed exploration of Foucault's critical examination of neoliberalism, focusing on the role of the state, the constitution of the subject, and the function of truth. She also addressed key critiques of Foucault’s work, particularly refuting claims that he was sympathetic to neoliberalism. Additionally, she engaged with Wendy Brown’s influential critique of Foucault’s conception of the political, offering a nuanced defense against these criticisms.
