Alice Goffman

Alice Goffman (born 1982) is an American sociologist, urban ethnographer, and author mostly known for the fierce controversy that resulted from the publication of her 2014 book ''On the Run: Fugitive Life in an American City''. She was assistant professor of sociology at the University of Wisconsin–Madison and visiting assistant professor of sociology at Pomona College. Though once considered a "star" in the field, Goffman was denied tenure at the University of Wisconsin in 2019 and left academia. Provided by Wikipedia
