This unique and innovative text provides undergraduate students with tools to think sociologically through the lens of everyday life. Normative social organization and taken for granted beliefs and actions are exposed as key mechanisms of power and social inequality in western societies today. By unpacking the centre students are encouraged to turn their social worlds inside out and explore alternatives to the dominant social order.The text is divided into three parts. In Part One students learn how to use theory and methodology, which are blended seamlessly throughout the text. It shows how to position Michel Foucault as a companion to theorists such as Karl Marx and Stuart Hall, while signaling the importance of nonwestern and Indigenous knowledges, experiences, and rights. In Part Two, students explore and challenge normativity; the normal body, heterosexuality, whiteness, the twogender system, aging, and the underside of citizenship. In Part Three, shorter chapters critique everyday practices such as thinking scientifically, practicing selfhelp, going shopping, managing money, buying coffee, being a tourist, and marginalizing Indigeneity. Each chapter includes intriguing exercises, study questions, and key terms that link to the volumes comprehensive glossary. Instructors are provided PowerPoint slides, test banks, and multimodal supplementary resources that make the book adaptable to blended and online learning environments.Essaystyle lectures are also available to accompany the textbook.
