Social Problems and Silver Linings

Social Problems and Silver Linings is designed to help students develop a sense of agency in resolving inherently complex social issues through self-reflection, participation, and discussion. With an ethnographic approach based on living theory, social problems will become more relevant to students and guide them towards using social theory in their own lives. The rich interactive materials in this book focus on social problems and how individuals can work to improve them. Social Problems and Silver Linings will empower students through active participation, problem-based learning and an inviting approach to social theory while incorporating mindfulness strategies to enhance their awareness of themselves and others.
