Howard Saul Becker (April 18, 1928 – August 16, 2023) was an American sociologist who taught at Northwestern University. Becker made contributions to the sociology of deviance, sociology of art, and sociology of music.[2] Becker also wrote extensively on sociological writing styles and methodologies.[2] Becker's 1963 book Outsiders provided the foundations for labeling theory.[3] Becker was often called a symbolic interactionist or social constructionist, although he did not align himself with either method.[3] A graduate of the University of Chicago, Becker was considered part of the second Chicago School of Sociology, which also includes Erving Goffman and Anselm Strauss.[4]
