Perhaps no 20th century philosopher has been more influential than Michel Foucault (certainly for the two instructors for this class!). Most famous for his explorations of "power" in our social formations, Foucault wrote histories of pervasive institutions, including the prison and the clinic, and transformed much of what we think about science, culture, and the very nature of knowledge itself. Today, his ideas inform much of our understanding of everyday relations of power and politics. This class will offer you an opportunity to read his major ideas in his own words. Over the course of five weeks, we'll explore and explain some of his key concepts, including: biopolitics, episteme, and care of the self. We’ll think about how to square his ideas with other influential 19th- and 20th-century thinkers like Freud and Marx. And ultimately, we’ll discover his beliefs about the transformative nature of study itself.

This class will take place in person at Night School Bar in Durham. Night School requires that students refrain from attending in-person classes when sick. For more on our class policies, see our FAQ. Instructors will also follow this policy. If your instructor is sick, class may be moved to online for a session or rescheduled to the week following the final scheduled session at the instructor’s discretion.
Sliding Scale: Night School Bar pays instructors and staff a living wage. We ask that people who make above the living wage threshold for their area strongly consider choosing 75% or higher tuition tiers in order to support our own living wage program. For Durham, NC, where we are located, the living wage threshold is $49,000 for an individual. All scholarship needs are self-assessed, and we will never request or require proof of need.
Scholarships: We are currently able to offer three full scholarships per class. Our full scholarship tier is a nonrefundable offering, limited to one per student per month. Because our scholarship funding is limited, selecting multiple full scholarships in a single month will result in disenrollment from all classes. If the scholarship tier you need is sold out please email us directly, and we will add you to a waitlist and notify you if additional scholarships become available. Please see our FAQ for more information, including installment plans and refund policy.
