Biography

Anders Persson is Professor of Sociology and Educational Sciences respectively at Lund University, Sweden.

"The way Persson takes his reader through the book is progressive and intuitive. He starts with a thorough presentation of Goffman’s sociological work, embedded in historical and social contexts. He proposes a way to understand and read Goffman’s Frame Analysis. Building on a gradual explanation, giving the reader a solid background, he demonstrates how to draw on Goffman’s analytical framework to analyze social interaction taking account of a metaperspective." - Maud Mazaniello-Chézol, Language, Discourse & Society
