Any classes/courses on the topic of evil?

r/

Hello, I (23F) am looking for courses on the topic of evil. More specifically the topic of mischief as it relates to evil and its relevance to interpersonal relationships. I don’t specifically want to learn about mischief/evil, more so I want a class that will guide me in the direction of how to enact these changes in myself.

I want to be very clear, when I say evil, I mean it in a lighthearted, almost prankster kind of way. Should I lean towards literature in search of blueprints for being evil? Should I turn to mythology classes to find examples of trickster demons in folklore? Should I surround myself with evil by changing my major to engineering? It should be noted that I want to steer away from any history classes for examples of evil because I don’t want to cause actual harm.

I am truly lost in my effort, as my academic advisor has been a bit wishy-washy, and I have not been forthcoming with him about my intentions. Should I tell him what I am hoping to get out of this class? Or should I withhold that knowledge from him so that I can get the best advice.

If it helps: I am a computer science major.

    Have you considered instead of an academic approach to evil perhaps finding an evil internship? Someone who is willing to undertake and evil apprentice? I hear Carl’s jr. is hiring
