Imagining Society, Second Edition helps new students discover their sociological imagination through exploration of key building blocks: the “thinkers”, theories, history, and methodology that are the heart of the discipline. Students will explore sociology’s key theories (in the theorists’ own words) and empirical methods in every chapter, forming connections to familiar issues where they have meaning and make sense. Along the way, readers will engage in thoughtful, self-directed projects that tie the content to their own lived experiences.
