Maren Scull

Originally from Littleton, Colorado I received my BA in sociology and history from the University of Denver in 2003. Although I continue to enjoy topics in history, especially those related to collective behavior, violence, and gender relations, my current interests in sociology include deviance, sexuality, and social psychology. At present, I am working on my dissertation regarding male strippers. In this research, I examine how exotic dancing influences the self-concepts of male strippers and the ways in which they negotiate their identities while being employed in a stigmatizing occupation. I also currently enjoy teaching Deviant Behavior and Social Control (S320).
