Foucault and Education.

Marshall, James D.

Australian Journal of Education, v33 n2 p99-113 Aug 1989

Michel Foucault's work, it is suggested, has much to offer education. A general introduction to his work is presented, and his account of power/knowledge is outlined. How this power/knowledge is exercised in what Foucault calls 'the disciplines' is discussed and implications for schools are outlined. (Author/MLW)
