Deirdre Duffy – författare

A 3-act play: tells the story of Andrew Blossom, a defense contractor who is visited on winter solstice by a series of ghosts intent upon helping him face the grief and unanswered questions which have prevented him from authentically honoring the memory of his son Ben, who was killed in the collapse of WTC2 on September 11, 2001.

Part of the New Approaches to Sociology series, Social Inequalities is a relevant and valuable exploration of how we see the world, through a decolonised lens. Aimed at undergraduate and postgraduate students of sociology, this textbook offers a critical re-reading of traditional approaches to understanding social inequalities and responds to the call from university administrations, academics and students to decolonise the curriculum and challenge its lack of diversity.

It presents an intersectional approach to understanding diversity and social inequalities and, in so doing, allows for alternative knowledge sources and voices to be heard.

From looking at social groups such as race, age, sexuality and class alongside a nuanced evaluation of traditional sociological theories such as Marxism, functionalism and feminism  – this book is an expert guide to the debates central to understanding the challenges individuals face in society.

Including personal stories and case studies, students will be exposed to an authentic and real-world view of how individuals have encountered discrimination.

Social Inequalities is an essential resource for anyone working and studying across sociology, and anyone interested in challenging established ways of looking at the world.
