Sociologists in Action on Inequalities: Race, Class, Gender, and
Sexuality is a brief anthology of original readings that are
perfect for Race and Ethnicity; Race, Class, and Gender;
Introduction to Sociology; Social Problems; Social Inequality;
Senior Capstone and other courses taught through the central lens
of diversity. Like its companion Sociologists in Action volume, on
social change and social justice, this collection brings together
dozens of accounts of sociologists who are using their sociology to
make a positive impact on society. Each of the 30 selections
describe, through firsthand experience, how sociology can be used
to address enduring problems of prejudice and discrimination based
on race, nationality, class, gender, and sexuality. Discussion
questions and suggested readings and resources at the end of every
chapter will provide students with opportunities to delve further
into the topics covered and help create full and nuanced
discussions, grounded in the "real world" work of public and
applied sociologists. Contributor to the SAGE Teaching Innovations
and Professional Development Award
Sociologists in Action will provide vivid examples of how
sociologists are using sociological tools to make a positive impact
on our society. In each chapter, four or five public sociologists
will describe, in vivid detail, how they have used sociology to
understand and influence the world around them. The chapters will
cover the key topics in sociology courses and the pieces will bring
the subject matter of sociology to life for students, giving them
clear examples of the power and usefulness of sociology as they
learn the course content. The discussion questions and suggested
additional readings and resources at the end of every chapter will
provide students the opportunity to delve further into the topics
covered and help create full and nuanced discussions, grounded in
the oreal worldo work of public sociologists.Sociologists in
Action, will include original, brief, highly readable articles from
a wide array of Public Sociologists in Action, describing some of
their work that has impacted society. The authors carefully choose
sociologists who are using their skills and research on a wide
range of issues, and through a wide variety of sociological methods
and venues. Each chapter will contain four or five, 3-5 page PSIA
pieces that will correspond closely to each of the first 11
chapters in The Engaged Sociologist, discluding the chapters on
theory and methods. The majority of the PSIA sections will be
written by the PSIAs themselves and carefully edited by Korgen and
White. The SIA pieces in The Engaged Sociologist: Public
Sociologists in Action will be significantly longer than the
one-page SIA boxes in The Engaged Sociologist. This will allow for
a deeper exploration of the specific sociological tools being
applied as well as the methods and processes leading to critical
social change. At the end of each chapter, the authors will include
discussion questions that relate the SIA pieces to the topics in
the corresponding chapters in The Engaged Sociologist, and provide
additional readings and resources on the various topics. The result
will be a public sociology reader that can be used in any course,
but that will have a particularly strong synergy as a supplement to
The Engaged Sociologist. 10% of the proceeds from this book will be
donated to Free the Children.
