Sociology: Books

For courses in Introductory Sociology. Inspire each student's sociological imagination. Authored collaboratively by members of the NYU Sociology Department, The Sociology Project 2.0 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 Sociology Project 2.0 shows how sociologists analyze our world and sets students off on their own journeys of sociological inquiry. At its core, The Sociology Project 2.0 seeks to inspire each student's sociological imagination and instill in each reader a new determination to question the world around us.
