Instructor Information

Quick Actions (Only for Validated Instructor Accounts):

By approaching sociology through the familiar concepts of culture, structure, and power, Experience Sociology engages students and enables them to see sociology in the world around them. Concepts are presented in an engaging and accessible way that brings theory and sociological concepts together, allowing students to move beyond their individual perspective to gain a true sociological perspective. 


The latest release of Experience Sociology reaches students in the wake of a global health crisis, sustained economic uncertainty, a growing environmental calamity, and continued political and cultural upheaval. In working to understand a turbulent, ever-changing world, the timeless insights of sociology are more relevant than ever. When paired with McGraw Hill’s Connect, instructors can engage students in course content, enhancing the understanding of topics and developing their sociological imagination.
