Bernard E. Harcourt (born 1963) is an American critical theorist with a specialization in the area of punishment, surveillance, legal and political theory, and political economy. He is the Isidor and Seville Sulzbacher Professor of Law and Director of the Columbia Center for Contemporary Critical Thought at Columbia University, previously the Julius Kreeger Professor and chairman of the Department of Political Science at the University of Chicago.

Bernard E. Harcourt is an author of several books, and has edited French and English editions of Michel Foucault's lectures at the Collège de France and at Louvain.

Harcourt is an active human rights lawyer, representing inmates on death row and serving life imprisonment without parole, including bringing cases before the Supreme Court of the United States. Formerly, he lived and worked in Montgomery, Alabama, at what is now the Equal Justice Initiative. He has also litigated against the "Muslim Ban," and was successful in bringing Dr. Amer Al Homssi back to the United States.

Education

Harcourt was raised in New York City by French parents and attended the Lycée Français de New York. He earned his bachelor's degree in political theory at Princeton University in 1984, after which he worked in finance. Harcourt then attended Harvard Law School where he earned his Juris Doctor degree in 1989. He later returned to Harvard University to pursue Ph.D. studies in political science, receiving his doctorate in June 2000.

Career

Harcourt clerked for Charles S. Haight, Jr. of the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York.

From 1990 to 1994, Harcourt lived in Montgomery, Alabama and represented death row inmates on direct appeal, in state post-conviction, in federal habeas corpus, and at retrial at the Equal Justice Initiative. While in Alabama, he represented a number of death row inmates, including an innocent man sentenced to death, Walter McMillian.

Harcourt was on the law faculty of the University of Arizona College 1998 to 2001. He was a visiting professor at Harvard Law School during the 2001-2002 academic year, and at New York University School of Law in the Fall of 2002. Harcourt was a visiting professor at the École Des Hautes Études en Sciences Sociales in Paris in 2007-2008, at the University of Paris X—Nanterre in January through March 2008, at the Paul Cézanne University Aix-Marseille III in December 2008, and at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton in 2016-2017.

Harcourt was previously on the faculty at the University of Arizona^[14] and a visiting professor at Harvard Law School, New York University School of Law, the University of Paris X—Nanterre, and Paul Cézanne University Aix-Marseille III.^[14] 

Harcourt was a visiting professor at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton during the 2016-2017 academic year.^[15][16]

In 2013 Harcourt became a directeur d'études (chaired professor) at the École des hautes études en sciences sociales in Paris.

Harcourt was appointed Isidor and Seville Sulzbacher Professor of Law and Director of the Columbia Center for Contemporary Critical Thought at Columbia University in 2014. He was also appointed Professor of Political Science in 2015 and joined the Committee on Global Thought in 2017 both at Columbia.

Works

Bernard Harcourt's writings focus on issues of punishment, social control, legal and political theory, and political economy from a critical, empirical, and social theoretic perspective.

His most recent book, Exposed: Desire and Disobedience in the Digital Age (Harvard UP), explores how our digital practices have transformed the circulation of power in contemporary society and produced what he refers to as a new "expository society". Author Edward Mendelson described the book as "intellectually energetic" in his review published in the New York Review of Books.

In his previous book, The Illusion of Free Markets: Punishment and the Myth of Natural Order (Harvard UP, 2011), Harcourt explored the paradoxical relationship between laissez faire and mass incarceration.

In Occupy (UChicago Press 2013), Harcourt develops the theory of political disobedience that he first articulated in the New York Times.

Harcourt has edited works by Michel Foucault in French and English. He is the editor of the French edition of Foucault's 1972 Collège de France lectures on Théories et institutions pénales published by Gallimard in 2015 and Foucault's 1973 Collège de France lectures on La société punitive published by Gallimard in 2013. He is the co-editor with Fabienne Brion of Michel Foucault's 1981 Louvain lectures, Mal faire, dire vrai. Fonction de l'aveu en justice (in French with Presses Universitaires de Louvain and in English with Chicago University Press).

He has also written on the actuarial turn in policing and punishment in Against Prediction: Profiling, Policing, and Punishing in an Actuarial Age (U of Chicago P, 2007) and on youth gun-carrying in Language of the Gun: Youth, Crime, and Public Policy (U of Chicago P, 2005).

In Language of the Gun, Harcourt develops a post-structuralist theory of social science. He argues that social scientists need to embrace the ethical choices that they make when they interpret data. He proposes a more transparent and open discussion of those ethical choices, which, he claims, are embedded in the methodological and interpretive decisions that researchers necessarily make in the course of their research.

In Illusion of Order: The False Promise of Broken Windows Policing (Harvard 2001), Harcourt challenges evidence for the broken windows theory and offers a theoretical critique of the underlying assumptions of the policing strategy.

Harcourt conducted research on the relationship between prison and asylum populations in three papers on the topic.

Awards and honors

In 2015, Bernard E. Harcourt was awarded an honorary doctorate from the Aix-Marseille University in France for his contributions to contemporary critical thought.

He is also the recipient of the 2009 Gordon J. Laing Prize for his 2007 book, Against Prediction: Profiling, Policing and Punishing in the Actuarial Age.

Jytdog Note acknowledged. Kimberlyfloresguzman (talk) 19:08, 29 June 2017 (UTC)

I would just like to note that the proposed photo addition has been deleted from Commons [2], with "Unaccepted or insufficient permission for use on Commons" as the reason for its deletion. Regards, VB00 (talk) 18:02, 19 July 2017 (UTC)

Declining as several issues with this request have arose since it was made. First, as VB00 mentioned, the image was deleted from Commons for the exact reason they mentioned. Second, Jytdog has decided to go to the user's talk page for a reason I do not have time to visit the page to find. Once these issues have been resolved, this request can be reopened in a different section. jd22292 (Jalen D. Folf) (talk) 17:39, 2 August 2017 (UTC)

Request edit on 2 August 2018

Hello! I am requesting this edit rather than editing the page myself because I work at Columbia Law School, where Bernard Harcourt is a professor. I see there has been some back and forth between User: jytdog and Kim, who is no longer employed here, and I am hoping that a solution can be reached. I am resubmitting Kim's proposed edits, and have taken the time to double check that they are biographical, factual, and unbiased. I have also removed the photo Kim proposed because it was deleted from Commons. I am new to Wikipedia, so I apologize in advance if something here isn't up to the usual standards the dedicated volunteers who edit these pages are used to. I appreciate you taking the time to review my suggested edits!
