TLDR
It is argued that researchers can build on Goffman’s ideas to strengthen their methodological practices and research products and suggest unacknowledged benefits of this work.Abstract:

She proposes that we look at our methodological premises anew, revisit our principles, and revise our practices.

She argues that researchers can build on Goffman's ideas to strengthen their methodological practices and research products.
