Author : Erving Goffman

Erving Goffman was a renowned American sociologist, and still is recognized as such today. He completed his undergraduate study at the University of Toronto. After obtaining his doctoral degree from the University of Chicago, Goffman first taught at the University of California, in Berkeley and then moved to teach at the University of Pennsylvania. Known as “one of the giants of 20th century sociology,” he was the founder of the famous social dramaturgical theory and was elected as the 73rd president of the American Sociological Association. He came to fame with The Presentation of Self in Everyday Life, which is his most influential book.
