{"product_id":"education-in-a-new-society-jal-mehta-9780226517421","title":"Education in a New Society: Renewing the Sociology of Education","description":"In recent decades, sociology of education has been dominated by quantitative analyses of race, class, and gender gaps in educational achievement. And while there's no question that such work is important, it leaves a lot of other fruitful areas of inquiry unstudied. This book takes that problem seriously, considering the way the field has developed since the 1960s and arguing powerfully for its renewal. \u003cbr\u003e The sociology of education, the contributors show, largely works with themes, concepts, and theories that were generated decades ago, even as both the actual world of education and the discipline of sociology have changed considerably. The moment has come, they argue, to break free of the past and begin asking new questions and developing new programs of empirical study. Both rallying cry and road map, \u003ci\u003eEducation in a New Society\u003c\/i\u003e will galvanize the field.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jal Mehta\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 022651742X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780226517421\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Chicago Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/27\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 464\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.30lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 1.00d","brand":"Jal Mehta","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44364995035391,"sku":"9780226517421","price":38.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_412ac1d7-c191-4bee-a699-a5b826e3207b.jpg?v=1697056029","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/education-in-a-new-society-jal-mehta-9780226517421","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
