About this book

You May Ask Yourself: An Introduction to Thinking Like a Sociologist by Dalton Conley is an introductory sociology textbook that uses stories, personal anecdotes and an irreverent writing style to get students to question the world around them. This ninth edition was published by W. W. Norton & Company in 2026 as a 992-page paperback.

Chapter 2 (Methods) has been revised to teach skills for both consuming and producing sociology research, and Chapter 10 (Poverty) incorporates recent research on the structural causes and intergenerational effects of poverty. New “What’s All the Fuss About?” features help students apply sociological thinking to hot-button issues.

Throughout the book, Conley uses contemporary empirical findings to give students chances to apply sociological ways of thinking to their own experiences.
