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.[5] She was Assistant Professor of Sociology at the University of Wisconsin–Madison and visiting assistant professor of sociology at Pomona College.[6] Though once considered a "star" in the field, Goffman was ultimately denied tenure at the University of Wisconsin in 2019 and left academia.[7]
