You May Ask Yourself: An Introduction to Thinking Like a Sociologist, Seventh Edition by Dalton Conley is one of the most engaging, current, and intellectually stimulating introductory sociology textbooks available — a text that genuinely teaches students to think like sociologists by revealing the hidden social forces that shape everyday life. Published by W.W. Norton & Company, this acclaimed introduction to sociology is used in courses at colleges and universities across the country.
Dalton Conley — one of America's most prominent and accessible sociologists — brings a distinctive, intellectually curious voice to introductory sociology that connects foundational theory and research to the social issues students care about most. The text's unique approach emphasizes sociological imagination and critical thinking, showing students how to apply sociological concepts to their own lives, their communities, and the social structures that shape inequality, identity, culture, and institutions.
The Seventh Edition features thoroughly updated content reflecting the most current sociological research and contemporary social events, with new and revised discussions of race, gender, class, health, crime, education, family, religion, and globalization. Norton's digital resources provide additional support for both instructors and students, including the InQuizitive adaptive learning platform and rich multimedia resources that make sociology come alive beyond the textbook.
Key topics include: the sociological perspective, research methods, culture, socialization, social interaction and groups, deviance and social control, stratification and inequality, race and ethnicity, gender and sexuality, family, education, religion, political economy, health and medicine, population and urbanization, and social change. The ideal introduction for undergraduate sociology courses across all disciplines.
