1. What is it that feminist theory seems to be trying to explain? How would you go about testing it? 2. Discuss how Erving Goffman’s notion of impression management can be applied to a job interview. Consider his discussion of how social interaction is like a theater or stage production and how the presentation of self fits into it. 3. Consider Geertz’s piece ‘Notes on a Balinese Cockfight.’ How would Elster (rational choice) have tried to study and explain what was going on at the cockfight? How do you think Geertz collected and analyzed his data to explain it?
