Sociology: Structure and Change helps you see how the world shapes us, and how you in turn can shape the world. The text focuses on the relationship between social structure and agency, showing how the structure of society influences individual lives, and how individuals can exert agency to influence the social world.

Throughout this fresh, contemporary approach to Introductory Sociology, author Jodie Lawston provides real-world examples of what others have done to engage in social change. She then prompts you to outline what you can do to become an agent of change yourself. By focusing on the related themes of social structure and agency, Sociology: Structure and Change inspires readers to have a positive influence on the world.
