Description
Exploring Sociology is a "students first" resource written with millennial students in mind, and with their help. Bruce Ravelli and Michelle Webber, the authors of Exploring Sociology, believe that theory provides the foundation for sociology and that students need to explore both classical and modern theory to grasp the sociological endeavour fully. Accordingly, this text provides the most comprehensive overview of classical and modern social theories of any textbook. This is the first mainstream introductory sociology text to devote an entire chapter to contemporary theory, and the first to integrate postmodern and post-structural theoretical insights meaningfully throughout the book. The authors inspire students to think sociologically , to engage their sociological imaginations, and to foster an appreciation for how social factors such as income level, gender, and minority status influence who they are and the people they become. Through its distinctive approach to the field, its readability, and its relevance to Canadian students’ lives, Exploring Sociology: A Canadian Perspective supports professors in developing their students' sociological imaginations and encouraging them to see sociology from multiple perspectives. Rarely does the student, the person who uses the textbook and technology, participate in the writing and development process. For the second edition of Exploring Sociology, students had an opportunity to offer feedback and to have 'their say'. Students offered their suggestions for improvement through anonymous online surveys, manuscript reviews, and in-class evaluations. The authors addressed students' comments with respect to the presentation of theory and the pedagogical features. MySocLab is not included with the purchase of this product.
