Author Description

Sociology: A Brief Introduction, First Canadian Edition provides a balanced introduction to the four core sociological theories (functionalist, interactionist, conflict, and feminist) while offering Canadian students valuable applications in Taking Sociology to Work boxes, end-of-chapter Social Policy sections, and Internet Connection exercises. With a commitment to Canadian content and a global focus, this text encourages students to reflect critically on the world in which they live and gives them the tools they need to hone their "sociological imagination."
