Sociology
Advisory Board | Volume Editors
The roots of sociology extend deep into the history of thought, but unlike the other social sciences, its coalescence into a proper discipline is more recent. Though the founding theorists of sociology overlap with the Enlightenment, those who helped shape the field in its infancy (Marx, Durkheim, Weber) did so in tandem with the rise of industrialization and modernity. The upheaval industrialization, urbanization, and secularization brought required a deeper, more scientific understanding of how society worked. Sociology answered that need and continues to do so today. The study of sociology is highly pluralistic, in topics, approaches, and methodologies, and the goal of sociology remains to understand better human interaction and society. Sociological research can and often is used to inform public policy, educational reform, criminal justice, and many other institutions for their betterment, making it a crucial field of study with a real impact on how humans live their lives. Oxford Handbooks in Sociology will become a premier source for sophisticated reviews on cutting-edge topics for use by experienced and new researchers, educators, leaders, technicians, and students. It will provide the kind of critical and original perspectives that readers will use to advance the total scope of the issues integral and associated with sociology and related fields.
