  • Student-friendly introduction to the sociology of everyday life.
  • Introduces in very accessible style the various theories used to interpret our everyday actions that on the surface of things might look mundane.
  • Considers topics such as eating and drinking, leisure, time and schedules, emotions, home, as well as how to study everyday life.
  • Encourages students to look afresh at routines and challenge the ‘taken-for-granted’ to see how the basic actions we perform each day construct and reflect larger social structures and issues.
  • Will appeal across a variety of disciplines, such as sociology of everyday life, sociology of emotions, social psychology and cultural studies.
