This handbook unifies access and opportunity, two key concepts of
sociology of education, throughout its 25 chapters. It explores
today's populations rarely noticed, such as undocumented students,
first generation college students, and LGBTQs; and emphasizing the
intersectionality of gender, race, ethnicity and social class.
Sociologists often center their work on the sources and
consequences of inequality. This handbook, while reviewing many of
these explanations, takes a different approach, concentrating
instead on what needs to be accomplished to reduce inequality. A
special section is devoted to new methodological work for studying
social systems, including network analyses and school and teacher
effects. Additionally, the book explores the changing landscape of
higher education institutions, their respective populations, and
how labor market opportunities are enhanced or impeded by differing
postsecondary education pathways. Written by leading sociologists
and rising stars in the field, each of the chapters is embedded in
theory, but contemporary and futuristic in its implications. This
Handbook serves as a blueprint for identifying new work for
sociologists of education and other scholars and policymakers
trying to understand many of the problems of inequality in
education and what is needed to address them.
