This collection contains 100 papers drawn from the broad range of contemporary writing on the sociology of education. Major trends and developments from the 1970s through to the 1990s are represented. The four volumes - Theories and Methods; Inequalities and Oppressions; Institutions and Processes; and Politics and Policies - offer a comprehensive introduction to and overview of the field. The Collection covers the key points of dispute and areas of controversy within the sociology of education and includes papers from many of the leading writers. Taken together the papers constitute a sophisticated and versatile toolbox of ideas for theory-building and research. Theoretical and substantive research papers were selected for their conceptual richness and general relevance. The collection as a whole is set in context by a general introduction and each volume is introduced with some ideas for reading and integrating the different styles, perspectives, theories and methods represented. The Sociology of Education will be of interest both to undergraduates coming to grips with the specialism for the first time and experienced students and practitioners.
