Elite Deviance: Crime in the SuitesINQ 260 SOWDiane V. Brogan Integrative Learning-Roanoke College-June 17, 2010
Definition • Unethical and illegal actions within governmental, political and corporate realms • Differential societal response
Application of Skills and Ways of Knowing Sociological theories and methods give basis for analysis and critique Some questions we address- • How can we effectively research elite deviance? • What structural and organizational features contribute? What societal arrangements? • How should we respond? • What are the social consequences? • How might the American Dream contribute?
Introduction of Methodology • Section on research methods • Advantages, disadvantages, limitations • Sources of data • Supplemental text with research studies • Case study method emphasized
Integration of Writing and Oral Communication • Use of resources • Library instruction session • Plagiarism session • Hacker Handbook/ASA format instruction • 3 writing assignments • Drafting • Peer review process • Video viewing guides for analysis and discussion
Some Course Goals • Ability to apply sociological imagination • Develop passion around the topic and the discipline • Recognize role of social responsibility • Enhance critical thinking and problem-solving
How Different from SOCI 101? • SOCI 101 as a survey course • sociological imagination applied through examination of several different subject areas • Less emphasis on writing • INQ 260 introduces and builds on concepts with onetopic • Deeper exploration and critique • May have greater attention to problem-based learning • Sacrifice areas of content for process-greater attention to writing process
