Sociology Project 1.5, The: Introducing the Sociological Imagination, Canadian Edition, 1st edition

Authored collaboratively by members of the NYU Sociology Department and supplemented with Canadian data and research to explore big sociological questions in the Canadian context, The Sociology Project draws on the collective wisdom of expert faculty to reveal how individuals are shaped by the contexts in which they live and act. Organized around the big questions in every subfield of the discipline, the text shows how sociologists analyze our world, and sets students off on their own journeys of sociological inquiry.

The Canadian edition illustrates significant similarities and/or differences between Canada, the U.S., and other countries throughout each chapter. Using Canadian data and research to explore the big questions asked by the U.S. experts in the field, we can observe how the differences between Canada and the United States are often connected to different cultural histories or social policies adopted by our governments and other institutions.
