Show Notes
Are you a Disney fan? Have you ever seen a princess in the flesh? Well, this week we are joined by Kristen Newvine of the Social Science Princess Project, who talks with us about this world of character performance. We use Goffman to understand how adopting the identities of Disney princesses can actually influence performers' everyday non-princess lives-- from how they talk to how they greet children at grocery stores to how they sing when they're encountering setbacks. Tune in and have a magical day!
