Being Sociological

Being Sociological, 3rd Edition, is an introductory sociology textbook that examines the lived dimensions of social life. Designed for students new to the field, it highlights how individuals experience social systems and how they can participate in social change.

The volume utilizes the SHiP framework to explore structural composition, historical patterns, and power inequalities in relation to personal lives. All chapters were rewritten for this edition, which incorporates topics such as migration, urbanization, social movements, and sport and leisure.

Pedagogical tools encourage readers to consider pathways for change, supported by companion online resources for teaching and study.
