Published in partnership with the Canadian Sociological Association (CSA), Reading Sociology offers students a wide-ranging and accessible overview of current sociological research in Canada. With over 65 expertly-edited selections by both well-known and up-and-coming CSA members, the reader is organized into 16 thematic parts that explore the main areas of sociological inquiry - from inequality, education, and deviance to politics and mass media. This third edition is composed entirely of new readings and includes a brand new cross-referencing guide to help instructors and students make conceptual connections between the readings.
