Howard S. Becker is an American sociologist renowned for his significant contributions to the sociology of deviance, art, and music. Born on April 18, 1928, in Chicago, he extensively wrote about social writing methodologies, and introduced the concept of labeling theory in his 1963 book 'Outsiders.' Often associated with symbolic interactionism and social constructionism, Becker's work reflects a more nuanced view, as he did not align strictly with either perspective. He graduated from the University of Chicago and is recognized as part of the Second Chicago School of Sociology.
