Descriere
Students
are
drawn
to
topics
of
urgent
sociological
concern—race,
class,
gender,
family,
popular
culture,
health,
and
crime—by
a
need
to
both
understand
the
forces
that
shape
their
world,
and
their
desire
to
make
the
world
better.
It
can
be
challenging,
however,
for
students
to
link
sociological
concepts
with
real-world
applications.
Living
Sociologically:
Concepts
and
Connections
helps
students
make
those
connections.
Encouraging
students
to
observe,
explore,
and
think
critically
about
the
social
world,
Living
Sociologically
offers
a
new,
class-tested
framework
for
teaching
introduction
to
sociology.
The
"paired
concepts"
approach
demonstrates
the
interdependent
ways
in
which
social
forces
work,
and
encourages
students
to
engage
with
complexity
and
contradiction.
It
also
connects
students
to
a
broader
set
of
questions
and
provides
them
with
critical,
analytical
tools
for
their
post-college
lives.In
addition,
each
chapter
includes
an
opening
vignette,
examples
of
contemporary
research,
box
features
that
exemplify
the
five
paired
concepts,
career
boxes,
methods
and
interpretation
boxes,
case
studies,
review
sections,
and
practical
activities.
Recenzii
I
LOVE
Living
Sociologically:
Concepts
and
Connections.
It
is
reader-friendly
and
the
engaging
writing
style
draws
students
in.
The
paired
concepts
approach
is
innovative,
and
the
active
learning
questions
are
thoughtful
and
provocative.
I
love
the
pop
culture
references
that
relate
to
students'
lives.
The
examples
are
not
only
useful
but
they
prompt
thoughtful
discussion
about
controversial
subjects,
which
can
foster
students'
ability
to
think
about
issuesfrom
more
than
one
perspective.
Living Sociologically is easy to read while still focusing on theory and other aspects that need to be included in an introductory class. The focus on intersectionality is the greatest strength of this book, hands down. I love the paired concepts! Putting them into context is very helpful and I really like how the authors have structured them. The examples are completely up to date and relevant to today's culture.
The authors' use of the five paired concepts is what makes Living Sociologically stand out. I like these themes very much and no doubt my students would agree. The categories are not only relevant and informative, but are systematically followed in each chapter. This allows students to develop a sense of understanding and connection between the issues addressed in each chapter. Excellent approach!
