The hookup is now part of college life. Yet the drunken encounter we always hear about tells only a fraction of the story. Rising above misinformation and moralizing, Lisa Wade offers the definitive account of this new sexual culture and demonstrates that the truth is both more heartening and more harrowing than we thought.Offering invaluable insights for parents, educators, and students, Wade situates hookup culture within the history of sexuality, the evolution of higher education, and the unfinished feminist revolution. Using new research, she maps out a punishing emotional landscape marked by unequal pleasures, competition for status, and sexual violence. She discovers that the most privileged students tend to like hookup culture the most, and she considers its effects on racial and sexual minorities, students who “opt out,” and those who participate ambivalently.Accessible and open-minded, compassionate and brutally honest, American Hookup explains where we are and how we got here, asking not “How do we go back?” but “Where do we go from here?”

Hobbled by conservative cuts to education beginning in the Reagan era, universities became increasingly consumer-focused, giving rise to the now-pervasive “party school.” Fraternities dominated campus life as administrators looked away from their destructive cultures. When Covid hit, universities enforced strict public health measures, encouraged by their focus on high-profit STEM fields, but ignored sociology—and essential interpersonal needs like sex, friendship, and love. In a New Orleans case study emblematic of campuses nationwide, students split into Covid-cautious and Covid-incautious factions, deepening racial, class, and geographic divides: fraternities thrived while surrounding Black residents bore the costs.In Exposed, renowned sociologist Lisa Wade argues that a more democratic, flexible response was possible. In prioritizing “hard” science over social science, institutions hindered their response to the crisis and eroded a generation’s faith in organizations, fueling right-wing backlash. Exposed offers ideas and insights for building social solidarity, redefining freedom, and strengthening our democracy for a healthier, more humane society.

With Terrible Magnificent Sociology, Lisa Wade set out to reinvent the introductory sociology textbook by writing a compulsively readable book that uses memorable stories to sell students on the discipline. Her fresh, streamlined approach has been enthusiastically received by instructors and students alike for its emphasis on lively stories, focus on intersectionality, and integrated coverage of sociological theory and methods. Throughout the book, Wade introduces readers to a more inclusive canon that emphasizes the contributions of women, immigrants, and sociologists of color. A new Norton Illumine Ebook helps students understand the sociology behind the stories with author videos, "How Do We Know?” interactives on sociological research methods, and Check Your Understanding questions with answer-specific feedback.
