Every so often a book is published that changes the way we look at particular sociological issue. The Classic Collection tells the inside story of some of these seminal works. The authors discuss the book with Steve Taylor, talking about how the study began, how the research was actually done, what they found and what they think of the work today. These programmes are not only relevant for students studying the topic areas under consideration, but also for research methods and coursework.

In this fast paced, visually exciting programme we hear from students and sociologists about what sociology is, what sociologists do, what it’s like being a sociology student and how sociology can change the way you look at yourself and the world.
