Michel Foucault Institute

The Michel Foucault Institute is an academic center dedicated to studying and promoting Foucault's ideas about power, knowledge, and social institutions. It explores how institutions like prisons, schools, and hospitals shape our understanding of truth and control societal behavior. The institute fosters research, education, and dialogue around these themes, aiming to deepen understanding of how power operates in modern society and how knowledge is used to manage populations. It serves as a hub for scholars interested in Foucault’s insights into the dynamics of power relations and social structures.
