Dalton Conley’s groundbreaking “non-textbook” teaches students how to think like sociologists. Students learn how to use their sociological imaginations to debunk conventional wisdom. With a strong emphasis on concepts, You May Ask Yourself challenges students to use sociological methods to evaluate facts about their social worlds by “making the familiar strange.”

Review:

Rather than bombarding students with lots of statistics, Dalton Conley seems more concerned with getting the 'big ideas' of the discipline across, and to encourage them to ask meaningful questions. --Michael Nofz, University of Wisconsin-Fond du Lac
