Michel Foucault is among the giants of 20th century thought. His work challenged received conceptions of power, knowledge, psychology, history, and others. This course will focus on several texts from his most influential period, that of genealogy. We will be engaged in a focused reading and discussion of several texts from that period, including his seminal work "Discipline and Punish" and the first volume of his "History of Sexuality". Topics courses are 2 or 4 credit, in-depth, thematic courses that may be repeated for credit under a different theme. May be repeated up to two times for a maximum of 12 credits.
