Aprašymas

Drawing on up-to-date education scholarship, Education and Society takes students on a journey through the many roles that education plays in contemporary societies. The textbook is organized to meet students where they are—at the individual's experience of education—before expanding to larger sociological conversations. By grounding their understanding of the educational system in their own personal experience, students can better grasp topics covered in the book, such as peer groups, gender and identity, social class, the racialization of achievement, the treatment of immigrant children, special education, school choice, accountability, discipline, global perspectives, and schooling as a social institution. The book prompts students to evaluate how schools organize our society and how society organizes our schools. By moving from students to schooling to social forces, Education and Society provides a lively and engaging introduction to theory and research and aims to serve as a cornerstone for courses such as sociology of education, foundations of education, critical issues in education, and school and society.
