Michel Foucault

Season 5, Episode 3 This week we are joined by Dr Jack Bryne Stothard and Dr Ben Johnson to discuss the life and work of Michel Foucault. Michel Foucault (1926–1984) was a French philosopher, historian, social theorist, and literary critic, widely regarded as one of the most influential thinkers of the 20th century. His work explored the relationship between power, knowledge, and social institutions, and he challenged many traditional ideas about how societies function.
