Connecting Sociology

Connecting Sociology takes a modern approach that is designed to engage and encourage students to view their lives and experiences through a sociological lens. In each chapter the five main theoretical perspectives are revisited, analyzed, and applied to examples that are reflective of student experiences in modern society. Videos, interactive maps, animated figures, and related assessments engage students in problem solving and critical analysis, while providing opportunities to apply sociological theory to the world around them. Chapter features explore contemporary sociological research and public policy as they relate to familiar events and demonstrate the ongoing value of the sociological endeavour. Connecting Sociology integrates interactivity into the text to create an active learning experience, meeting students where they are today.
