Klappentext zu „A Journey of Discovering Sociology “
This book gathers the author's interviews with twenty leading sociologists from various fields at nine different prestigious universities in the USA, including their viewpoints, anecdotes and experiences in the world of sociology. Each chapter presents an interview with one sociologist, covering their views on contemporary sociology, their early university experiences, teaching experiences, experiences with publishing, and their reflections on life as a sociologist.Through the dialogues, readers can learn about sociology as well as sociologists' lives in a unique and insightful way - just as the author did - and embark on a journey of discovering sociology. The book helps readers find their own answers to the two main questions explored: "What is sociology?" and "What is a sociologist's life like?"
