Description
xBeing Sociological considers the lived experience of sociology, stressing the active nature of social life and highlighting the role that students can play in enacting social change. Fully reworked in this third edition, with five brand new chapter topics and a diverse roster of new contributors, this textbook presents a fresh take on society today.
The book encourages readers to examine both enduring challenges and their potential solutions. Dynamic learning features help students unpack key ideas from sociological theory and apply them to today's problems to cultivate their own sociological imagination. An inspiring read, this textbook will empower students to engage with sociology outside the classroom and embed it in their everyday lives.
With new contributors, fresh organisation and a vibrant student-centric focus, this third edition brings Being Sociological fully up to date and reaffirms its place as an invaluable introduction to sociology for students new to the field.
New to this Edition:
- All chapters completely rewritten to provide a fresh overview of sociology today
- Coverage of five new chapter subjects: including social movements, urbanization, migration and sport and leisure, reflecting their centrality in modern life and in introductory sociology courses
- A focus on the SHiP framework, moving away from social categories to consider instead society's structural composition, its historical patterns and power inequalities and their interplay in individual lives
- A forward-looking, optimistic orientation, bolstered by new pedagogical features inviting students to consider pathways for change
