Erving Goffman Memorial Lectures
To mark the 50th Anniversary of The Presentation of Self in Everyday Life (published by the Social Science Research Centre, University of Edinburgh in 1956) we established an annual Erving Goffman Memorial Lecture.
Goffman's Presentation, written whilst he was a visiting Canadian scholar at the University of Edinburgh, is one of the most influential sociological texts of the twentieth century.
The 2008 Erving Goffman Memorial Lecture was delivered by Karin Knorr Cetina, the George Wells Beadle Distinguished Service Professor of Sociology and Anthropology at the University of Chicago.
The 2009 Goffman Memorial Lecture was delivered by Gary Allan Fine, the John Evans Professor of Sociology, Northwestern University. Gary Alan Fine holds the 2003 George Herbert Mead Award for Lifetime Contributions to the study of symbolic interaction and is the editor of Social Psychology Quarterly. He is past chair of the Sociology of Culture and Theory sections of the American Sociological Association.
The 2010 Goffman Memorial Lecture was delivered by Stanley Raffel, senior lecturer and long-standing member of the sociology department at Edinburgh.
