Focus on Social Problems: A Contemporary Reader

Focus on Social Problems: A Contemporary Reader, Second Edition, edited by Mindy Stombler and Amanda M. Jungels, offers a comprehensive exploration of modern issues through a critical social constructionist lens. This collection is designed to help readers understand the nuances of how social problems are defined, framed, and constructed in society. By combining research-based academic articles with accessible popular media pieces, the text provides a balanced perspective on the causes and consequences of various social dilemmas while fostering a sense of empathy for those affected.

A standout feature of this second edition is the inclusion of interviews with social-change activists at the beginning of each chapter. These dialogues allow readers to see real-world applications of sociological theory and envision themselves as active agents of change. The reader covers a wide array of topics, ensuring a broad understanding of the complex challenges facing contemporary society.
