Rezensionen

"Julie Morris's Introduction to Sociology Through Comedy is the textbook I would have wanted in my undergrad sociology class! By meeting students where they are through familiar comedians, TV shows, movies, and podcasts, this work introduces the most important sociological concepts in a way that is rigorous, accessible, and entertaining. Even better, this book is a great intro to comedy for sociologists and a great intro to sociology for comedy scholars."
