About the Book
Sociology in India: Intellectual and Institutional Practices presents a vivid portrayal of the evolving landscape of sociological teaching and research in India within the context of globalization. This volume not only documents but also theorizes the transformations in the discipline, emphasizing the dual challenge to the nationalist vision of social science education: the emergence of radical local social movements and the pressures of global capital.
The book argues that Indian sociology must simultaneously engage with its routine, everyday practices and its unique theoretical possibilities, fostering active involvement in broader questions about the social sciences’ role in society. Organized into five comprehensive sections, the book explores diverse themes:
-
Sociology and Society: Different Takes
-
Sociology in the Margins: The Local and the Banal
-
Sociology in Professional Institutions: Global Brands and Disciplinary Marginality
-
New Sites and Modes of Doing Sociology
-
Tracking Concepts: Of Intellectual Journeys
With contributions from leading scholars, this work addresses the shifting boundaries, challenges, and opportunities in the discipline, making it an invaluable resource for students, educators, and researchers of sociology and social sciences in India.
