3. Some departments at OISE pioneered socialist-feminist and radical feminist intellectual work that was not then deemed acceptable in most other Canadian universities. Thus, when the noted British historical sociologist Philip Corrigan was hired in OISE's sociology department in the early 1980s, he immediately found a place that was unusually receptive to his neo-Marxist approach to "moral regulation". Corrigan's doctoral students, including Kari Dehli, Gary Kinsman, and Debi Brock, went on to disseminate and modify Corrigan's "moral regulation" approach, pursuing historical sociological studies of Canadian practices of moral regulation.

15. For present purposes I am not drawing the otherwise key distinction between Derridean "texts" and Foucauldian "discourses", but merely demonstrating how both of these post-idealist terms marked a fundamental departure from "the history of ideas".

27. Paul Veyne argues that Foucault's approach to history is more empirical than that of the new social history because Foucault's detailed descriptions of particular practices of governing do not presuppose "the existence of any goal, object, material cause (the governed masses, relations of production, an enduring State) or type of behaviour (politics, depolitization). It consists in judging people by their actions and in eliminating the eternal phantoms that language arouses in us. Practice is not some mysterious agency, some substratum of history, some hidden engine: it is what people do" ("Foucault Revolutionizes History", p. 153).
28. Some "historians of the present" use genealogical tools to praise liberal methods of governance and denounce the work of socialist and feminist intellectuals (particularly in Australia), but the Toronto History of the Present group as well as the London-based network have a distinct, if amorphous, left and feminist orientation.
