The Foucault on Crime, Law, and Society working group examines works by Michel Foucault in order to discuss his thought and its reception within various disciplines. Discussions focus on Foucault's reflections on legal techniques and practices, crime, penal institutions, discipline, governmentality, and biopolitics. The working group offers students from various disciplines a platform to deepen their knowledge of Foucault's theory and its applicability to current academic debates and political practices in the fields of criminology, law, and society.
