Turning to reflexive journals and fieldnotes, the author reconsiders Foucault's "relations of power" through her experiences with five research participants, who are professors of education. The paper explores: (1) the translation of Foucault for an analysis of power; (2) the dynamics of researching up and analyzing from below; and (3) the rethinking of relations of power as also, simultaneously, relations of vulnerability. Metalogues, imagined conversations, extend and challenge Foucault in a negotiation of power/knowledge with the author as she rethinks "relations of power" as Relations of vulnerability/Relations of power.
