F. Lane Harwell received his B.A. from Princeton in Philosophy and has also studied philosophy at University College London and visual arts at Parsons School of Design. Prior to his undergraduate career, he was a company member with American Ballet Theatre, performing in both classic and contemporary works. While at Berkeley, he will pursue a Ph.D. in the Department of Theater, Dance, and Performance Studies, hoping to expand his engagement with the work of Michel Foucault in the field of visual culture by exploring contemporary and international sites of surveillance and censored performance. John Muse, a Townsend Fellow in 2003–2004 who is completing his Ph.D. in Rhetoric, will be Harwell’s mentor.
