LET'S TALK ABOUT DEVIANT BEHAVIOR
by Andrea Hagan a.k.a Professor A.
Let's Talk About Deviant Behavior: A podcast by Andrea Hagan a.k.a Prof. A. Who gets diagnosed — and who gets arrested? Who receives therapy — and who receives a cage? This podcast refuses to let those questions stay rhetorical.Let's Talk About Deviant Behavior is the weekly companion, where we take the frameworks you're building in the readings and press them against the world happening right now. Each episode moves between abnormal psychology, structural analysis, and current events — tracing the patterns that turn trauma into criminal records, survival into symptoms, and children into cases.We study Victor Rios's Oakland. We study Kendrick's Compton. We study your city. Because deviance isn't a diagnosis — it's a decision about whose behavior gets explained and whose gets punished. Psychology gives us the language to name suffering. History shows us who built the system that produces it. And together, we learn to see both at once.This is pattern hunting. This is scholarship in servi

What Is Abnormal? Psychology Meets Power
Prof. A opens the series by asking the question underneath abnormal psychology: who gets diagnosed, and who gets punished? This episode introduces the four Ds, the biopsychosocial model, structural competency, Victor Rios's youth control complex, and Kendrick Lamar's "u" as a primary source for understanding how suffering gets narrated, labeled, and controlled.Using current reporting and course frameworks, the episode traces how childhood behavior becomes criminalized, how structural racism becomes embodied stress, and how diagnostic categories have historically served as tools of social control.Transcript provided for citation.
