Spark the sociological imagination through an inquiry-based approach. The Sociology Project draws on the collective wisdom of expert faculty from the NYU Sociology Department to reveal how individuals are shaped by the contexts in which they live. Utilising the big questions of the discipline as a framework, the authors seek to inspire each reader's sociological imagination.

Version 3.0 explores important recent developments such as the COVID-19 pandemic and the Black Lives Matter, #MeToo and environmental movements. An updated chapter structure sheds light on the future of the labor market, political polarisation, and other resonant contemporary issues.
