The SAGE Handbook of Global Sociology addresses the 'social', its various expressions globally, and the ways in which such understandings enable us to understand and account for global structures and processes.
Those who are pursuing social justice too often fail to incorporate the insights of sociology, and when they do make use of sociology, they often draw heavily from claims that are highly contested, unsupported by the evidence, or outright false.
