We have long lacked a biography of Erving Goffman. Partly this can be explained by Goffman's direction for his papers not to be opened to researchers after his death. This meant those who may wish to write Goffman's biography had a lack of material to draw upon. Dmirti Shalin, author of Erving Manuel Goffman: Biographical Sources of Sociological Imagination (2025, Routledge), has overcome this by developing the Erving Goffman Archives, a collection of correspondence, family histories, syllabi and reminisces which allows for this book to exist as the first true biography of the great scholar. In providing the details of Goffman's life, Shalin has provided new ways of looking at Goffman, showing how factors like his upbringing in a family of Russian Jewish immigrants, his relationship with, and the sad suicide of, his wife, his interactions with colleagues and his everyday interactions shaped his sociology. Along the way we are encouraged to look anew at Goffman's work on topics such as the presentation of self, mental health, gambling and gender. In doing so, we learn much about Goffman not just as a scholar, but as a man. In our conversation we cover the whole of Goffman's life, moving from his youth and onto the significant points in his career and their impact upon his sociology. We also discuss the archive and how it came to be and discuss what Goffman's legacy maybe for the future of democratic politics.

We're in Cardiff to bring you immediate reaction to the Champions Cup final as Bordeaux overpower Northampton to win club rugby's biggest prize for the first time. Matt Dawson and Paul Grayson, who lifted the cup with Saints 25 years ago, join Chris to pick the bones out of a thrilling and chaotic final. They discuss the impact of the injuries to Saints duo George Furbank and James Rahm early in the game and the countless TMO interventions. Damien Penaud scored twice to finish the tournament with an incredible 14 tries, but who else caught the eye for the new champions? We analyse Henry Pollock's performance in his first final and ask if Saints' run to the final was a one-off or whether English clubs can continue to compete at the top end of Europe.

Chris is joined by Ashy and Matt Dawson at Twickenham to reflect on the fourth weekend of the Men's Six Nations.The guys discuss England's 47-24 win against Italy, where Steve Borthwick's side do enough to remain ‘in the hunt' for the Championship going into the final weekend. And Wales v Scotland pales in comparison to France's high quality win against Ireland to put the Championship in their hands, albeit without Antoine Dupont available.Looking ahead to the final weekend, Ashy and Daws have a sneaky feeling that Wales could do a number on England at the Principality, with Ollie Lawrence's injury not helping either! And who could make a lasting impression on Andy Farrell in a bid to secure a place on the Lions tour?

Erving Goffman has always seen as somewhat of an enigma by sociologists and historians of the discipline. In his provocative new book Erving Goffman and the Cold War (2023, Lexington) Gary Jaworski suggests a ‘marginal man' trope has grown up around him, whereby Goffman is seen as an outsider, unconnected to broader debates in sociology and to the events happening around him as he wrote. Seeking to overcome this trope, Jaworski presents him instead as a sociologist ‘in, and of' the cold war. This involves looking anew at Goffman's work, moving away from the more frequently used concepts and looking at less studied metaphors in his work such as loyalty, provocation and secrecy. Here we see how Goffman was a perceptive sociologist of cold war America and, in so doing, can explore his connections to cold warriors, on both sides of the divide. In our conversation we explore the ways in which looking at Goffman's work via the cold war allows us to understand some of the underappreciated greatness of his work. Topics discussed include why lesser known texts such as Strategic Interaction and Where the Action Is are so important, the role that spies play in his work and why Goffman was such a fan of post-WWII satire.

Matt Dawson is a six-time world-record-holding endurance and adventure athlete who, within a twelve-month period, climbed the highest peak on every continent, skied to the South Pole, trekked solo and unsupported across the Mojave Desert and Death Valley, and rowed across the Atlantic Ocean.  Performing in the planet's harshest environments, he learned that his greatest obstacles don't originate in the outside world, but within himself. That life doesn't have to be a relentless battle against his deepest fears and shortcomings. His new book, Strength In Surrender beckons you to embrace a different path and reveals a harrowing truth: one of the greatest acts of courage is surrender. Surrender isn't giving in, giving up, or going along, but rather choosing to face and release our deepest fears in order to identify more productive ways of meeting our needs. It's a powerful, necessary step to living a life of greater purpose.  Takeaways ·      Physical challenges can help in reconnecting with oneself. ·      Disconnection is a common issue in today's society. ·      Facing fears is essential for emotional release. ·      Reality is not as concrete as we believe it to be. ·      We have the power to shape our own reality. ·      Living with purpose is crucial for fulfilment. ·      Emotional pain can lead to significant breakthroughs. ·      The journey to finding purpose can take time. ·      Engaging in physical challenges can foster personal growth. Living a life of purpose can significantly improve mental health.. ·      Asking for help is a sign of strength, not weakness. ·      No one is truly alone in their struggles; many share similar pains. ·      Embracing discomfort can lead to profound personal growth. ·      Focusing on the process rather than just the outcome is crucial. ·      Surrendering to the unknown can lead to new opportunities for growth. ·      Personal evolution is about learning to trust oneself and others.    (Website) https://dawsonspeak.com (Facebook) www.facebook.com/dawsonspeakcharity (Instagram) Matt Dawson (@dawsonspeak) • Instagram photos and videos (Youtube) Dawson's Peak - YouTube Book:  https://www.amazon.co.uk/Strength-Surrender-expeditions-harshest-environments-ebook/dp/B0D2SFMZJM/ref=sr_1_1?crid=2XM2OC3537I9B&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.brna1_m0VBRdWat1yKILcg.R-xKuvc8u0l3zIWrQnape8tghOqQ58IhXM3rR1NMg64&dib_tag=se&keywords=matt+dawson+surrender+book&qid=1738846837&sprefix=matt+dawson+surrender+book%2Caps%2C51&sr=8-1

Sociologists have had surprisingly little to say about poetry as a topic while sometimes also making grandiose claims that sociology is/should be like poetry. These are the prompts which begin Andrew Smith's Class and the Uses of Poetry: Symbolic Enclosures (2024, Palgrave Macmillan). Drawing upon discussions with working class readers of poetry, and interviews with unpublished poets, Smith draws our attention to the ways in which poetry has been enclosed, or fenced off, from working class readers. Influenced by, though offering some criticisms, of, Bourdieu's approach to the sociology of culture, he shows us how readers become aware of this enclosure but nevertheless engage in collective understanding of the poems they are presented with. In doing do, Smith reminds us of the need to emphasise the aesthetic elements of poetry, and culture more generally, including its creative and expressive affordances. A reader of his book realises that a critical sociology of poetry needs to attest not just to the symbolic capital in who is seen as ‘legitimate' readers and producers of poetry but also how those shut off from it lose out on the uses of poetry. Our discussion covers what led Smith to pursue this work, how sociology has, and might in future confront poetry, his experiences of running these reading groups and suggests why, perhaps, we should also perhaps reject the ‘society of the segue way' and savour some of the finitude which poetry might offer.

Sociologists have had surprisingly little to say about poetry as a topic while sometimes also making grandiose claims that sociology is/should be like poetry. These are the prompts which begin Andrew Smith's Class and the Uses of Poetry: Symbolic Enclosures (2024, Palgrave Macmillan). Drawing upon discussions with working class readers of poetry, and interviews with unpublished poets, Smith draws our attention to the ways in which poetry has been enclosed, or fenced off, from working class readers. Influenced by, though offering some criticisms, of, Bourdieu's approach to the sociology of culture, he shows us how readers become aware of this enclosure but nevertheless engage in collective understanding of the poems they are presented with.

The publication of Theory and Society in 2024 bought to conclusion a three volume collection of The Selected Writings of Zygmunt Bauman. Preceded by Culture and Art in 2021 and Politics and History in 2023 (all published by Polity Press) these volumes presented essays which either had never been published before, were being made available in English for the first time, or had previously been published but were not well known. The books were hugely influential contributions for scholars of Bauman, who now had access to new texts, in some cases ones which encouraged some rethinking of his project, as well as scholars in social theory, the history of sociology and the themes of each volume. All the volumes were edited by four scholars, three of whom joined me for this podcast: Dariusz Brzeziński, Tom Campbell and Jack Palmer (Mark Davis makes up the team) to discuss the series, including an in-depth discussion of Theory and Society. As we discuss in the episode, the availability of these texts, especially the translations from Bauman's pre-exile works in Poland encourage us to look at Bauman's work as one continuous project founded around a project of humanism and what the editors term the ‘Camus-Gramsci-Mills axis' which defines his work. But, it also opens new ways of placing Bauman as, for example a scholar of futures and the history of sociology and social thought. We also discuss the significance of the translations of Bauman's work (performed by Katarzyna Bartoszynska), how the opening of the Janina and Zygmunt Bauman papers at the University of Leeds provided a prompt for this project and the relation between Bauman's work and life circumstances. I also ask the editors to pick their favourite essay from the series. Your host, Matt Dawson is Professor of Sociology at the University of Glasgow and is the author of G.D.H.

It is only in recent years that sociologists and historians of the social sciences have given empire the attention it deserves in histories of the discipline. In this context, George Steinmetz's The Colonial Origins of Modern Social Thought: French Sociology and the Overseas Empire (Princeton University Press) is likely to be a touchstone text in these debates. Providing a new history of the French national discipline inspired by a ‘Neo-Bourdieusian Historical Sociology of Science', Steinmetz highlights the centrality of ‘colonial sociology', work centered on and/or created in the French overseas colonies and protectorates to the discipline's development.  The French state, eager to consolidate its empire after World War II, were eager to draw on the expertise of sociologists in pursuing this goal; as Steinmetz shows therefore, during this period, a focus on ‘the colonial' became central to French sociology to the extent that roughly half the French sociological field could be considered ‘colonial sociologists'. Despite this entanglement with the French state these colonial sociologists became strong critics of imperialism. Alongside the many stories he uncovers Steinmetz explores in depth the case of four such colonial sociologists: Raymond Aron, Jacque Berque, Georges Balandier and Pierre Bourdieu, seeking to show not just the centrality of colonialism to each writer but how their experiences of empire formed their basis for their future work; for example, how Bourdieu's concepts of habitus, capital and field can be traced to his experiences in colonial Algeria. In our discussion, which also marks the imminent release of the text in paperback, George takes us through this hugely enlightening text, including reflections on why there may have been some ‘disciplinary amnesia' in sociology's unwillingness to confront empire, the relations between sociology and other imperial disciplines, how sociologists from the colonies developed their own work, the lessons from his text about how we should confront colonial sociologists and whether Durkheim had an ‘imperial gaze'.

Episode 277 of The Super Human Life podcast - How To Find Purpose & Strength Through Surrendering w/ Matt Dawson   In this conversation, Matt Dawson shares his transformative journey from a life focused on external success to one centered on purpose and service. He discusses the concept of surrender, emphasizing that true strength lies in facing challenges rather than fighting them. Dawson reflects on his struggles with mental health, the importance of self-discovery, and the realization that fulfillment comes from serving others. He also introduces his nonprofit, Dawson's Peak Foundation, which aims to inspire individuals to find their purpose through service, particularly for veterans. In this conversation, Coach Frank and Matt Dawson explore the themes of purpose, personal growth, and the journey from strength to endurance. They discuss how one's purpose evolves over time, the challenges faced in achieving world records, and the importance of balancing life, work, and passion. Matt shares insights from his experiences, including the transformative journey of writing his book, 'Strength and Surrender', which encapsulates his personal challenges and lessons learned along the way.   Takeaways Strength and surrender can coexist.   True strength is found in facing challenges.   Surrendering is not giving up, but embracing issues.   Self-worth should not be tied to performance.   Sitting quietly with oneself is a profound challenge.   Purpose is found in serving others.   External success does not guarantee internal fulfillment.   The journey of self-discovery is ongoing.   Emotional pain can lead to breakthroughs.   Dawson's Peak Foundation aims to inspire purpose. Understanding your purpose is crucial for personal growth.   The concept of 'earn, give, live your life' simplifies our mission.   Purpose evolves as we transition through different life stages.   Building skills in your 20s is essential before serving others.   World records can be achieved through perseverance and mental strength.   Experiencing the 'third man factor' can provide unexpected guidance.   Transitioning from strength to endurance requires patience and dedication.   It's important to balance personal ambitions with community service.   The journey of transformation can be documented and shared through storytelling.   Living with purpose means continuously pushing yourself outside of comfort zones.
