Hosted by: Dr. Nady Mirian

Dr. Nady Mirian will be hosting a COCO Talk about the influence of disciplinary institutions on our way of thinking. Following Michel Foucault's ideas, Dr. Mirian will address the powerful influence that institutions such as psychiatry, prison, and school have on individuals' thinking and behavior. Power is used as a means of discipline and conformity within these institutions.

Dr. Nady Mirian is a psychotherapist, lecturer, and author, who is currently writing a non-fiction book that will be published by Penguin Randomhouse.
