Reviews"I LOVE Living Sociologically: Concepts and Connections. It is reader-friendly and the engaging writing style draws students in. The paired concepts approach is innovative, and the active learning questions are thoughtful and provocative. I love the pop culture references that relate to students' lives. The examples are not only useful but they prompt thoughtful discussion about controversial subjects, which can foster students' ability to think about issues from more than one perspective." --Andrea Deal, Madisonville Community College "Living Sociologically is easy to read while still focusing on theory and other aspects that need to be included in an introductory class. The focus on intersectionality is the greatest strength of this book, hands down. I love the paired concepts! Putting them into context is very helpful and I really like how the authors have structured them. The examples are completely up to date and relevant to today's culture."--Jess Klein, Robert Morris University/University of Pittsburgh "The authors' use of the five paired concepts is what makes Living Sociologically stand out. I like these themes very much and no doubt my students would agree. The categories are not only relevant and informative, but are systematically followed in each chapter. This allows students to develop a sense of understanding and connection between the issues addressed in each chapter. Excellent approach!"--Joachim Kibirige, Missouri Western State University

SynopsisStudents are drawn to topics of urgent sociological concern--race, class, gender, family, popular culture, health, and crime--by a need to both understand the forces that shape their world, and their desire to make the world better. It can be challenging, however, for students to link sociological concepts with real-world applications. Living Sociologically: Concepts and Connections helps students make those connections. Encouraging students to observe, explore, and think critically about the social world, Living Sociologically offers a new, class-tested framework for teaching introduction to sociology. The "paired concepts" approach demonstrates the interdependent ways in which social forces work, and encourages students to engage with complexity and contradiction. It also connects students to a broader set of questions and provides them with critical, analytical tools for their post-college lives. In addition, each chapter includes an opening vignette, examples of contemporary research, box features that exemplify the five paired concepts, career boxes, methods and interpretation boxes, case studies, review sections, and practical activities., Students are drawn to topics of urgent sociological concern--race, class, gender, family, popular culture, health, and crime--by a need to both understand the forces that shape their world, and their desire to make the world better.
