Abstract
This book is called Doing Sociology because it shows you how to use project work to develop your sociological understanding. It is organised around the main approaches to data collection: social surveys, observation, in-depth interviews, secondary data analysis and experimentation. Doing Sociology is thus about how to do sociological research. It takes a realistic view about what can be achieved in an introductory sociology project.
