An inquiry based approach to spark the sociological imagination
Organized around the big questions in the core subfields of the discipline, The Sociology Project: Essentials shows how sociologists analyze our world, and sets students off on their own journeys of sociological inquiry. Each chapter of this brief text has been authored by one or more faculty members from the NYU Sociology Department who write and teach in a specific subfield. This collaboration offers a unique approach that draws on the collective wisdom of a large, successful sociology department to reveal how individuals are shaped by the contexts in which they act and live. At its core, The Sociology Project: Essentials seeks to inspire each students sociological imagination, highlighting the personal relevance of key concepts and instilling in each reader a new determination to question the world around us.
