Description:
This module introduces students to the uses of Foucault’s theory and method in the social sciences. The module is structured to provide insight into the ways Foucault’s technique and method have been taken up in sociology and applied to social research.
Focusing on discourse as a cornerstone of Foucault’s methods, our aim is to reconsider the status of ‘reality’ in the social sciences.
Covering his key texts we address Foucault's method as an important device for studying power and society. In so doing the module seeks to engage students with the uses of Foucault's method for social science research and social inquiry.
