The Engaged Sociologist: Connecting the Classroom to the Community (6th Edition)
The Engaged Sociologist: Connecting the Classroom to the Community brings the public sociology movement into the introductory sociology classroom, offering a concise and impactful look at the discipline. This text is designed to teach students how to think sociologically and develop a “sociological eye,” while simultaneously demonstrating how sociology serves as a practical tool for improving society.
The authors explain the core theories and concepts of the field through the lens of active engagement. By providing numerous examples of “engaged” sociologists working to solve some of society’s most intractable problems, the book inspires students to see the real-world value of their studies. Each chapter features exercises and projects that encourage students to become active participants in their own communities, bridging the gap between academic theory and social practice.
This 6th edition continues the tradition of fostering social justice, with the authors demonstrating their commitment to public sociology by supporting non-profit organizations dedicated to alleviating social injustice.
