What is Sociology, Unplugged: A Concise Guide to Contemporary Sociology about?
This concise, clear, accessible book is meant to truly engage students by using personal stories, solid research, and key theories that illustrate how sociologists look at life, the way we understand social dynamics, what "socially constructed" means, and how a sociological sensibility can, ultimately, be liberating.

Sociology, Unplugged covers foundational concepts - from socialization, dramaturgy, and intersectionality to deviance, social change, and sociological methodology - in a way that avoids the heavy-handedness of typical intro texts. Unique contributions of this volume include: an explicit exploration of social construction; consistent inclusion of race, class, and gender and their intersections; the centralizing of W.E.B. Du Bois as the key founder of American sociology; a sociological exploration of sex and sexuality; attention to transgender identity; an incorporation of insights from Peter Berger; a cogent introduction to sociologica
