Nikolas Rose (born 1947) is a prominent British sociologist and social theorist. He is currently the Head of Department of the newly launched Department of Social Science, Health & Medicine at King's College London. He was the James Martin White Professor of Sociology at the London School of Economics, director and founder of LSE's BIOS Centre for the Study of Bioscience, Biomedicine, Biotechnology and Society from 2002 to 2011. ==Biography== Before joining LSE in 2002 as the Convenor of the Department of Sociology (2002–2006), he was previously Professor of Sociology at Goldsmiths College, where he had been Head of the Department of Sociology, Pro-Warden for Research and Head of the Goldsmiths Centre for Urban and Community Research and Director of a major evaluation of urban regeneration in South East London. Originally trained as a biologist, he has done extensive work on the history and sociology of psychiatry, on mental health policy and risk, and on the social implications of recent developments in psychopharmacology. He has also published widely on the genealogy of subjectivity, on the history of empirical thought in sociology, and on changing rationalities of political power. He is particularly known for his interpretation of the work of the French historian and philosopher Michel Foucault and the revival of the literature on governmentality in the Anglo-American world. His book, ''Governing the Soul: the shaping of the private self'', is widely recognised as one of the founding texts in a new way of understanding and analysing the links between expertise, subjectivity and political power. He argues that the proliferation of the 'psy' disciplines has been intrinsically linked with transformations in governmentality, in the rationalities and technologies of political power in 'advanced and liberal democracies'. (See also governmentality for a description of Rose's interpretations of Foucault's writings). For six years he was managing editor of Economy and Society, one of the UK's leading interdisciplinary journal of social science, and he is now co-editor of BioSocieties: An interdisciplinary journal for social studies of the life sciences. He was brought up in London in a Jewish family, the younger brother of Steven Rose, a prominent British neuroscientist. In 1989, he founded the History of the Present Research Network, an international network of researchers whose work was influenced by the writings of Michel Foucault. Together with Paul Rabinow, he edited the Fourth Volume of Michel Foucault's Essential Works. In December 2001, he was listed by ''The Guardian'' newspaper as one of the top five UK based social scientists, on the basis of a twenty-year analysis of citations to research papers, and the most cited UK based sociologist. He was awarded in 2007 an ESRC Professorial Research Fellowship – a three-year project entitled 'Brain, Self and Society in the 21st Century'.〔(Brain Self and Society project, LSE )〕 More recently, the UK's Engineering and Physical Science Research Council has awarded the BIOS centre at the LSE and Imperial College £8 million to establish the Centre for Synthetic Biology and Innovation, the first publicly funded UK centre dedicated to synthetic biology which will be based at Imperial College.〔"Synthetic biology gets ethical ", Nature, May 2009,()〕 Prof. Rose will be heading the team that will examine the social, ethical, legal and political dimensions of this emerging practice〔("Synthetic biology gets ethical", Nature, May 2009 )〕 and that will train researchers to examine the socio-economic impacts of biotechnology, and developing practices of regulation and good governance.〔"New centre launched to spearhead UK research in synthetic biology", LSE News, December 2008 ()〕 Nikolas Rose is currently a member of the Nuffield Council on Bioethics. He was a member of the Council's Working Party on ''Medical profiling and online medicine: the ethics of 'personalised healthcare' in a consumer age'' (2008–2010)〔(Nuffield Council on Bioethics' official website-Medical profiling )〕 and is presently a member of the Council's Working Party on ''Novel Neurotechnologies''.〔http://www.nuffieldbioethics.org/neurotechnology/neurotechnology-about-working-party〕 His work has been translated into Swedish, Danish, Finnish, German, Italian, French, Russian, Chinese, Japanese, Romanian, Portuguese and Spanish. He is currently working on the newly developed Undergraduate programme, the BSc Global Health and Social Medicine, due to start in September 2013.〔http://www.kcl.ac.uk/sspp/departments/sshm/study/Undergraduate.aspx〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Nikolas Rose」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
