Welcome to the Companion Website

This site is intended to enhance your use of SAGE Readings for Introductory Sociology

Kimberly McGann. Please note that all the materials on this site are especially geared toward increasing your effectiveness with this material and for maximizing the potential for your students to learn.

This concise, affordable anthology contains 22 popular sociology statements designed to introduce readers to the sociological perspective. The readings cover core topics in sociology, including culture, socialization, interaction, deviance, gender, class, and race. An alternate, topical table of contents suggests ways to match readings to other subfields in sociology (like family, education, work, and religion), and identifies readings that reflect four theoretical traditions: functionalism, symbolic interactionism, conflict theory, and feminism.
