Seeing Sociology

Seeing Sociology: An Introduction, 3rd Edition, is an introductory sociology textbook by Joan Ferrante that pairs modular lessons with visual analysis to introduce core concepts in the discipline.

The volume covers topics such as the Affordable Care Act, the anti-aging industry, and the connections linking globalization to technology and gay rights. Each chapter is organized into brief, self-contained modules that give instructors flexibility when tailoring reading assignments to course needs.

Visual study features form an integral part of the text. Through the dedicated feature "What Do Sociologists See?", the book offers sociological perspectives on everyday images to show how conceptual tools apply to daily life.
