Introduction to Sociology: A Public Sociology Framework

Introduction to Sociology: A Public Sociology Framework provides students with a collection of articles that present key concepts in sociology from a civic-minded perspective. The anthology encourages an active level of engagement and brings students in conversation with their communities. The book is organized into eight distinct units. Opening units introduce students to important sociological frameworks, the field of public sociology, and key sociological theories. Additional units discuss gender, sexuality, race, ethnicity, the family, education, the environment, and social movements. Each unit includes post-reading questions to encourage students to think about social injustice, social policy, and social change. Featuring a unique social justice orientation and a focus on public sociology, Introduction to Sociology is an ideal core or supplementary textbook for foundational courses in sociology.
