Based on the work of Michel Foucault, the interrelated concepts of ‘biopower’, ‘governmentality’ and 'technologies of the self’ have been used to shape sexualities research and to investigate health education practice. Indeed, many of the prevailing concerns in HIV and sexual and reproductive health can be conceptualised as ‘biopolitical’—thereby expanding the conceptual tools that can be used to generate research questions and encourage consideration of new forms of practice. Using examples from research and health education, this module introduces these concepts and enables participants to explore how they may be applied.
