FS 016 PZ -Deviant Heroes

Institution: Pitzer

Description: This course will look at the positive, altruistic and heroic side of deviant behavior. We will explore the nature of conformity and non-conformity, and we will learn about various deviant heroes from various societies and cultures. Sometimes, going against the grain, violating the rules, breaking the law and rebelling against one’s culture can be a good thing-even heroic. [P. Zuckerman, Sociology].
