Poison Ivy: A Social Psychological Typology of Deviant Professors and Administrators in American Higher Education
About this ebook
CLIFTON D. BRYANT, Emeritus Professor of Sociology, Virginia Polytechnic
This book challenges the popular stereotype of deviance; that is, it does not deal with violators of social etiquette or nuts, sluts, and perverts, but rather with a classification of highly educated, respectable, middle class college and university professors and administrators.
