Sociologists' Tales: Contemporary Narratives on Sociological Thought and Practice

Navigating a career in sociology can be challenging, but as these essays reveal, it is also intensely rewarding. Sociologists’ Tales brings together the thoughts and experiences of key UK sociologists—many internationally recognized—as they reflect on why they chose a career in sociology, how they did it, and what advice they have for the next generation. After an introduction outlining the landscape, approach, and findings from these narratives, the collection is organized thematically, providing rare insight into the field and its importance. The first book of its kind, Sociologists’ Tales will appeal to students and young sociologists contemplating their future.
