“…The most contested is assimilation, which has also explicitly and implicitly received the most attention as various scholars have sought to defend, reformulate, expand, reject, or replace it. There are aspects of the legacy that have not been fully appreciated, such as the recent case that has been made for seeing in Park's thought a theory of democratic pluralism (Kivisto, 2022).…”

“…Textbooks are foundational for constructing the scope of a discipline and convey the insights acquired by a field (Dunham, Cannon, and Dietz 2004;Fitzgerald 2012;Kuhn [1962] 1970; Lynch and Bogen 1997;Kivisto 2022;Perrucci 1980;Tischler 1988). However, numerous scholars have analyzed sociology textbooks and found that they did not reflect the discipline (Babchuk and Keith 1995;Best and Schweingruber 2003;Carroll 2017;Dong 2008;Hamilton and Form 2003;Medley-Rath Forthcoming;Nolan 2003;Puffer 2009;Schweingruber and Wohlstein 2005).…”

Textbooks offer instructors an opportunity to promote data visualization and statistical literacy throughout the sociology curriculum. In this study, we examined 463 data visualizations from 27 textbooks for Introduction to Sociology, Social Problems, and intermediate elective courses to illuminate the range of figures and their use of statistical data and numerical variables. We find that textbooks rely on a narrow range of figures (e.g., bar/column charts and tables) and statistical data (e.g., percentages). Introduction to Sociology textbooks used more frequent and more varied figures, and Social Problems textbooks used a broader range of statistics and numerical variables. In contrast, intermediate-level textbooks presented more measures of central tendency in their figures. Overall, our results suggest textbooks could better integrate and scaffold a broader range of figures, statistical data, and numerical variables. We conclude with resources for integrating data visualization for instructors.

“…Sica (2016, p. 128) sums up its influence thus: "It became the totem for the Chicago tribe, and was perceived as such from the beginning." It continues to be the source of both inspiration and criticism to this day (see Kivisto 2021).…”

This article examines the teaching of the introductory course in sociology. The first section sets the context of the teaching of introductory sociology in American higher education. The second turns to an examination of the written materials of introductory sociology: the textbooks used in the vast majority of these courses. Their widespread use provides a window into how introductory sociology has evolved over time. These texts also provide a view of what certain stakeholders—publishers and a select group of authors—have taken as central for beginners to master. The third section considers the scholarship on teaching and learning (SOTL) literature in sociology, which has produced research on current pedagogical practices and on strategies, techniques, ideas, and solutions to problems that contemporary introductory instructors face. A short conclusion offers a reflection on the implications of these issues for the future of teaching in the discipline. Expected final online publication date for the Annual Review of Sociology, Volume 49 is July 2023. Please see http://www.annualreviews.org/page/journal/pubdates for revised estimates.
