For courses in Introductory Sociology
Help students see how their world shapes them and how they in turn can shape the world
Revel(R) Sociology: Structure and Change focuses on the relationship between social structure and agency, teaching students how the structure of society influences individual lives and how individuals can exert agency to influence the social world. Throughout this fresh, contemporary approach to Introductory Sociology, author Jodie Lawston provides real-world examples of what others have done to engage in social change and then asks students to outline what they can do to become agents of change themselves. By focusing on the related themes of social structure and agency, Sociology: Structure and Change arms students with the sense that they can and will have a positive influence on the world. The Digital Update offers the latest data and narrative updates that reinforce the relevance of key concepts to students' lives.
