Knowledge Evolution and Societal Transformations: Action Theory to Solve Adaptive Problems.
By Jerald Hage
Foreword by Michael Quinn Patton Action theory provides career possibilities for sociologists and examples provide ways of reducing educational, income, and political inequality. While it doesn't specifically deal with the virus crisis or policing, the model provides solutions to both of these problems.
The book integrates sociological theory with economic and political science theory, representing 60 years of Hage's work. The theory is grounded with comparative research in the United States and in Western Europe over 100 years. This book updates Marx, Weber, and Durkheim, making them more relevant to contemporary problems. For example, Chapter two explains why there are Trump voters. Each chapter can be purchased separately and represent whole courses in sociology.
Chapter One: Courses on sociological theory, social change and the evolution of societies. Chapter Two: Courses in social psychology. Chapter Three: Courses in organizational innovation. Chapter Four: Courses in regional sociology and for urban departments. Chapter Five: Courses in social stratification. Chapter Six: Courses in organizational sociology and for the theory of organizations in business schools. Chapter Seven: Courses on networks and for schools of social work. Chapter Eight: Courses in sociology of education and for some courses in schools of education because there are recommendations for pre-school, primary, and secondary. Chapter Nine: Courses in economic sociology and for some courses in departments of economics. Chapter Ten: Courses in political sociology and for some course in departments of political science. |
