Welcome to the companion website for

Being Sociological

by Steve Matthewman, Catherine Lane West-Newman and Bruce Curtis

 

This resource site has been designed to provide support and extension activities for lecturers using this text and looking to organise their teaching around the book.

Introducing students to the subject of sociology can be a daunting task - one not always helped by the often-uninspiring textbooks available for teaching at this level. Many lecturers face the challenge of coaxing students to look afresh at a world they think they know, of encouraging them to see-beyond their own experience and to think critically. Being Sociological is a concise and original thematic introduction to sociology that will help lecturers inspire their students and act as a springboard into the wider literature. Organized around twenty ways of existing and acting in the world, such as 'seeing', 'believing', 'educating', 'doing', it covers all the key areas of study required at first year and equips students for seeing the world through sociological eyes.

The site is divided into two areas, for the lecturer and student. All Palgrave Macmillan Companion Websites have free access, but some sections of the lecturer zone are designated for exclusive use by adopters of the text and are therefore password-protected; all users are invited to explore all other areas of the site as they please.

We envisage this site to be used in tandem with the textbook to create and deliver a complete teaching package for yourselves and your students.
