Sociology of Personal Life, 2nd Edition, is an anthology that examines how sociological perspectives and empirical research illuminate intimate relationships, families, and everyday experiences. The volume demonstrates how social contexts shape individual ties and how personal choices influence wider social structures.
The text investigates the connections between private experience and the public sphere across relational and cultural domains. Chapters address foundational concepts, couple relationships, kinship, friendship, and material cultures.
Intended for sociology students studying family and personal relationships, the anthology pairs theoretical discussions with guidance on conducting research into personal lives.
