Description

This book provides a variety of sociological frameworks for understanding contemporary social policy. It is thematically structured, and explores how sociological perspectives may be used to theorize, conceptualize and research social policy. A broad approach to social policy is adopted in order to capture the different ways in which social policy can be understood - as academic discipline, policy process, service provision and lived experience. The book engages with a range of policy areas and client groups, as well as paying attention to socio-demographic categories such as class, gender, 'race' and age. It looks at contemporary developments in sociological theory and research methods, and considers the impacts, consequences and opportunities these offer students and scholars of social policy. In addition there are systematic introductions to some of the recent and relevant sociological discourses, for example on equality, citizenship, identity and embodiment.
