Psychology 348 - The Man and the Experiment that Shocked the World:The Work and Legacy of Stanley Milgram

Institution:

Bard College

Subject:

Description:

STS It has now been 40 years since the original work of Stanley Milgram demonstrated that large numbers of individuals, in multiple samples of American men and women studied, were willing to punish another person when ordered to do so by an experimenter. The prominence of the initial work and the continued salience of such study in social psychology cannot be overstated. The domain of the "Milgram" study is worthy ofcontinuing interest not only because of the vastness of both criticism and praise to which the work was subjected, but also because of its relevance to our time. This Upper College seminar serves as a research conference for psychology majors, but is not limited to psychology or even social studies majors. The single criterion for enrollment is a willingness to read with care.
