The Trials of Alice Goffman
Alice Goffman’s first book, “On the Run’’—about the lives of young black men in West Philadelphia—has fueled a fight within sociology over who gets to speak for whom.
Goffman is a Member (2015–16) in the School of Social Science and is exploring ethnographic inquiry into the formation of human bonds and human identity.
