Ep 73 Wolff Peace - Erving Goffman & Eleanor Rathbone: Behind the walls
from Peace Is Here with Avis Kalfsbeek · host Avis Kalfsbeek
What happens when institutions replace identity with obedience? Sociologist Erving Goffman explores how total institutions—like prisons or asylums—reshape human behavior. British MP Eleanor Rathbone responds with a lifetime of advocacy for human dignity, social reform, and women’s autonomy. Together, they ask: can peace survive bureaucracy?
