Write about Michel Foucault’s concepts (discipline, power and examination) three (3) short essays of 500 words each concept. (a) Explaining each concept and then (b) explaining how this concept might be applied to one of these 3 areas (i) education in general or (ii) your own professional practice education or (iii) notions relating to the family.
(3 × 500 words short essays, 1 concept and its application per essay)
Step 1: Explain the concept as it appears in Foucault’s work. You will need to refer to both Foucault’s work and work by commentators (second sources) to help you write about these applications.
Step 2: Apply the concept to either education in general or your own professional practice in education or notions relating to the family. You will need to refer to both Foucault’s work and work by commentators (second sources) to help you write about these applications.
The form of each essay:
1- Heading [Name of key concept]
Explain what Foucault means by key concept
2- Subheading: Applications
Discuss how this concept might be applied to one of these 3 areas (i) education in general or (ii) your own professional practice education or (iii) notions relating to the family.
(500 words each essay)
Notes:
Roughly two thirds of your 500 words should be dedicated to explaining what Foucault means by the concept. It is up to you to determine the precise breakdown of each section (concept and application)in terms of actual numbers of words. Try to write clearly and simply. There is no need to use overly complex language.
