Material Detail

Hello! This Introduction to Sociology video explains the concept of Dramaturgy, also known as Impression Management, coined and developed by Erving Goffman. We explore how comparing social interactions to a theater play allows us to understand our daily lives and think critically about the ways the expectations of different social environments have on our behaviors, communication, and presentation of ourselves to others.

Reflection questions are included on the site.
