## "A History of Penal Regimes in Global Perspective, 1800-2014"

On the occasion of the 40th anniversary of Michel Foucault’s *Discipline and Punish: The Birth of the Prison* (1975), the influential book that first opened a new line of inquiry into the study of the prison, the Weatherhead Initiative on Global History is planning a conference to spark a global conversation among researchers in the social sciences and humanities at work on the history of distinctive penal regimes. We are hosting over 25 speakers from all over the world - the complete program is available at [http://wigh.wcfia.harvard.edu/content/conference-history-penal-regimes-…](http://wigh.wcfia.harvard.edu/content/conference-history-penal-regimes-global-perspective-1800-2014).

*Sponsored by the Weatherhead Initiative on Global History, with support from the David Rockefeller Center for Latin American Studies; the Department of African and African American Studies, Harvard University; the Davis Center for Russian and Eurasian Studies, Harvard University; the Harvard University Asia Center; and the Hutchins Center for African and African American Research, Harvard University.*
