"Contexts Magazine, sociology's answer to Psychology Today, is engaging and informative. A rich blend of research studies and feature articles that are written for a general audience, the magazine highlights sociological scholarship that is both timely and relevant to college students. Whether the articles are focused on the problems of teenage pregnancy or the pictures and narrative descriptions from hurricane Katrina, our social world are brought into vivid detail, stimulating opportunities for serious discussion, debate, and further exploration."
—Barbara Schneider, Michigan State University
"Simply put, it's the reader we've been looking for—smart, engaging, and consummately utilitarian, with contributions by scholars of genuine distinction addressing an impressive range of issues and topics."
—Brian Powell, Indiana University
"The Contexts Reader will be a hit among undergraduate sociology students. The writing is lively, engaging, and free of off-putting jargon. A special bonus is the "Methods" section, which describes how sociologists from a diverse range of methods really do their work. The perfect addition to an undergraduate introductory or methods textbook."
—Deborah Carr, Rutgers University and University of Wisconsin–Madison
