Through the themes of intersectionality, technology and media, and social change, Media, Intersectionality, and Social Change: An Introduction to Sociology Concepts through Contemporary Issues familiarizes students with timely and applicable concepts and theories in sociology. This unique, hybrid text provides students with a classic textbook chapter, followed by carefully selected readings that complements the themes of the book and shows students sociological concepts applied in real-world instances.The book is broken into four units. The first unit features material on nature and nurture, culture, media, and socialization to examine what makes us human. The second unit examines the concept of society and explores complex forms of organization, group identity, conformity, crime and deviance, and loyalty. The third unit shows the ways in which culture and social organization differ based on variables like class, gender, race, and age, and how those factors can manifest in inequality for specific populations. In the final unit, students learn how to work toward social change through behavioral, social, political, and digital movements.Cross-disciplinary in nature, Media, Intersectionality, and Social Change is suitable for foundational courses in sociology, social science, public policy, social work, ethnic studies, gender studies, and social psychology.

This practical text combines social research methods with coverage of statistical analysis to help students develop the applied research skills needed for future careers in public and private organizations, while also delivering a solid foundation for those going on to graduate school. Throughout the book, the author offers a real-world example and then breaks it down into a decision tree, which helps lead students to a possible statistical decision (rather than starting with the statistic). This text gives students a toolbox of the most common and in-demand skills and demonstrates how those skills can be used to make the best research decisions. The book takes students through the entire real-world research process, from the formation of a research topic to measurement and sampling, to methods for gathering information and making sense of the data, and finally presenting to a non-academic audience in a way that “gets the job done.” Resources for instructors and students are available on an accompanying website for the book.
