Writing for Emerging Sociologists is a writing guide designed to provide useful advice and instruction to sociology undergraduate and graduate students. While focused on the variety of writing projects that sociologists undertake, this book covers writing topics for all students and early professionals, including: Selecting a research topic and active reading; library database keyword searches; grant writing; book reviews; encyclopedia entries; the IRB process; editing and revising; policy briefs; and even the Graduate Record Exam. Additionally, this title offers more sociology specific instruction on topics such as citation styles, writing for surveys, interviews and focus groups; and writing a research paper and literature review. Not all writing in Writing for Emerging Sociologists falls within the realm of the strictly academic as much of the writing students do regularly is based on the use of technology and media in today's world. This book addresses the writing in constructing emails and letters; and writing for newspapers, magazines and blogs. It also discusses how technology is used in information-gathering and analysis.

Enter the Alternative School: Critical Answers to Questions in Urban Education

Enter the Alternative School is an in-depth examination of public school alternatives to traditional educational models in the US. This book analyses how urban education can respond to a system growing increasingly standardised and privatised. As an example, Central Park East Secondary School (CPESS), a public alternative schooling model, successfully served predominantly low-income and minority students. It also changed the New York City public school system while promoting methods that allowed educational institutions to make changes in the lives of their students. Written by a sociologist who was both a student at CPESS and a teacher at a school developed from the CPESS model, the book analyses education from a range of vantage points, assesses outcomes, and invites readers to consider the potential of alternative educational models to address the challenges of reforms that attempt to provide quality education to the low-income and minority students otherwise under served by public schools.
