Paperback, Oxford, A Canadian Perspective. TAGS: AHSS3050 SOC2260

Thoroughly revised to address a variety of contemporary issues, Social Problems: A Canadian Perspective uses diverse voices to take a concise, intersectional approach that encourages students to be active, engaged citizens in the pursuit of understanding and solving Canada's-and the world's-social problems. The book discusses and applies a range of theoretical perspectives - including structural-functionalism, conflict theory, symbolic interactionism, feminism, and social constructionism - showing students the many lenses through which they can examine and interpret issues. Written by Canadian scholars, this text is an essential resource for studying social problems in this country. Completely rethought and revised, the sixth edition of Tepperman's Social Problems is designed not only to present the most pressing social issues of our time-such as COVID-19, racial inequity, the fight for justice for Indigenous people, and wealth inequality--but also empower students to be active, engaged citizens who can effect change in their community and globally. The new edition retains the best features of the fifth edition-such as Be an Active Citizen-with brand-new features to help students explore their options for getting more involved as citizen sociologists. These include compelling video clips, profiles, and hands-on activities, all available in our Enhanced eBook, a fully digital version of the text.
