Module Outline

Michel Foucault’s work has been influential in a wide range of disciplines. SOCI515 is a module that introduces students to the uses of Foucault’s theory and method within the social sciences. The module is structured to provide an insight into the ways Foucault’s technique and methodology have been taken up in sociology and applied to social research. Focusing on problematisation as the cornerstone of Foucault’s methods our aim is to reconsider the status of ‘reality’ and the role of experts in the production of social scientific knowledge.

Learning Aims  

1. To introduce students to Foucault’s use of history as a method
2. To demonstrate the use of Foucault’s method as an effective tool for social inquiry
3. To understand how, when and why Foucault’s methods have been taken up in the social sciences.
4. To provide an introduction to Foucault’s method in relation to his work on sexuality and biomedicine as examples of critically engaging and engaged social science.

Teaching and Learning Strategy  

This module is taught primarily through a lecture and seminar and your own independent study. The sessions will develop, through discussion, the substantive themes and issues raised on the module. Sessions will be organised around key questions, case studies and group discussion. Students are encouraged to keep abreast of issues pertinent to the module by reading relevant academic publications (including journals). Everyone should read the appropriate articles and chapters to prepare for the session. We encourage you to take an active role in your learning at all times. The importance of using your independent study time cannot be over-stressed; the module is taught on the assumption that 50 hours will be spent studying its subject matter, only a small proportion of which will be spent in the lecture and seminar group. The remainder should be spent reading and preparing for your seminars and, ultimately, your essay.
