Tom,

I think that you have an excellent reading list for your students. Under
the "self and membership" category, I would suggest Cooley's classic
article "The Looking Glass Self".  The article offers a good way to
introduce symbolic interactionism.  The first chapter of Goffman's
_Presentation of Self in Everyday Life_  might also be helpful.  If
you are looking for a good overall introduction to the work of Goffman
I would suggest Philip Manning's _Erving Goffman and Modern Sociology_.
