Birdwhistell had gotten his PhD in Anthropology at the U. of Chicago. As far as I know, Birdwhistell was always an anthropologist - in the tradition particularly of G. H. Mead - Symbolic Interactionism. After Toronto he went to Louisville, then to U. of Buffalo where he was my major professor. Goffman helped Birdwhistell some years later to become a Professor at U. of Pennsylvania. Goffman and I became fairly close friends during those years. Thanks Harvey Miyato,

Is the following correct? If you know the answer, could you please reply? 1) A Wikipedia says "Erving Goffman received his bachelor's degree from the University of Toronto in his native Canada in 1945. His master's and doctorate were granted by the University of Chicago in 1949 and 1953." And, I heard the following: It it correct? Ray Birdwhistel was once appointed as a psychological anthropologist at the University of Chicago. And Erving Goffman contacted him when he was a graduate student at the University of Chicago. So, Ray Birdwhistel must have been at Chicago around that period, not as a student, but as a faculty. (He was born in 1918, he could not have been at the University of Toronto as a faculty when Goffman was doing his undergradaute study there, if we think of tha fact that Goffman got BA there in 1945). (2) Is the following correct? If you know it, please feed back to me. Ray Birdwhistel for a while quit his anthropology teaching position, as he decided to enter MA course in quantum physics at the University of Toronto. Der Sir, please allow me to ask the following questions: I heard Erving Goffman used to have a lot of contacts with Ray Birdwhistel; according to your description, “Birdwhistell’s student (also sent to Chicago), Erving Goffman.”
