Publisher's Synopsis
An inquiry based approach to spark the sociological imagination
Authored collaboratively by members of the NYU Sociology Department, Revel(R) The Sociology Project 2.5 draws on the collective wisdom of expert faculty to reveal how individuals are shaped by the contexts in which they live and act. Organized around the big questions in every subfield of the discipline, the text shows how sociologists analyze our world, and sets students off on their own journeys of sociological inquiry. At its core, Revel The Sociology Project seeks to inspire each student's sociological imagination, and instill in each reader a new determination to question the world around us. In addition to the latest data, Version 2.5 has been updated with a new 11-part short documentary video series that illustrates a variety of social issues.
