The themes that sociologists teach never change, but rather how the themes manifest themselves in society and the viewpoints they reflect are continuously emerging in a plethora of different venues.
The articles found in Navigations: Contemporary Readings in Sociology are contemporary takes on classic conversations. This reader is comprised of ten articles, which reflect current conversations around classic topics such as race, ethnicity, health, inequality, stigma, and deviance, just to name a few. The intent of this reader is to not be laid out thematically; but rather to offer freedom in choosing the article most appropriate for the conversation. By compiling ten articles using a method of intersectionality, educators and students may freely draw on the articles which highlight the issues they are discussing.
