Showcasing advanced research from over 30 expert sociologists, this
dynamic Handbook explores a wide range of cutting-edge developments
in scholarship on teaching and learning in sociology. It presents
instructors with a comprehensive companion on how to achieve
excellence in teaching, both in individual courses and across the
undergraduate sociology curriculum. Divided into three distinct
sections, the Handbook pinpoints critical aspects of teaching
sociology: designing, teaching, and assessing core courses;
advancing sociological literacy in topical courses; and engaging
with high-impact practices across the curriculum. Chapters further
solidify disciplinary understandings of the core elements of the
sociology curriculum, as well as the essential concepts and skills
that sociology students ought to learn. Offering extensive
resources to help teachers think about and improve course and
curricular design, their own teaching, and their students’
learning, this comprehensive Handbook is the definitive guide for
achieving teaching excellence across sociology. Its timely and
practical suggestions will prove invaluable to new instructors,
seasoned faculty, and department chairs seeking to advance program
quality.
Numerous challenges exist in respect to integrating work and family
institutions and there is remarkable cross-national variation in
the ways that societies respond to these concerns with policy. This
volume examines these concerns by focusing on cross-national
variation in structural/cultural arrangements. Consistent support
is found in respect to the prospects of expanding resources for
working families both in the opportunity to provide care, as well
as to remain integrated in the workforce. However, the studies in
this volume offer qualifiers, explaining why some effects are not
as strong as might be hoped and why effects are sometimes
restricted to particular classifications of workers or families. It
is apparent that, when different societies implement similar
policies, they do not necessarily do so with the same intended
outcomes, and usage is mediated by how policies are received by
employers and workers. The chapters in this book speak to the
merits of international comparative analysis in identifying the
strategies, challenges and benefits of providing resources to
workers and their families. This book was originally published as a
special issue of Community, Work & Family.
"The Work and Family Handbook" is a comprehensive edited volume,
which reviews a wide range of disciplinary perspectives across the
social sciences on the study of work-family relationships, theory,
and methods. The changing demographics of the labor force has
resulted in an expanded awareness and understanding of the
intricate relations between work and family dimensions in people's
lives. For the first time, the efforts of scholars working in
multiple disciplines are organized together to provide a
comprehensive overview of the perspectives and methods that have
been applied to the study of work and family. In this book, the
leading work-family scholars in the fields of social work,
psychology, sociology, organizational behavior, human resource
management, business, and other disciplines provide chapters that
are both accessible and compelling. This book demonstrates how
cross-disciplinary comparisons of perspective and method reveal new
insights on the needs of working families, the challenges faced by
those who study them, and how to formulate policy on their
behalf.
