Abstract
This paper is prompted by Stephen Legg's contribution to the journal on the subject of ‘Foucault's population geographies’. It provides a brief appreciation of Legg's contribution, and uses his claims as a platform for reflecting further on what attention to the work of Michel Foucault – the French philosopher‐historian – can bring to the table of population geography. More specifically, it is argued that Foucault's concern for sex, its bio‐politics and bio‐history could be more explicitly foregrounded in the subdiscipline. Copyright © 2005 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
