Preface

This book seeks to provide students and faculty with a resource for connectingsociological issues with real-world data analysis in the context ofintroductory-level courses. It is not meant to be a comprehensive guide tosocial statistics, nor is it meant to provide statistical findings concerningevery single issue related to inequalityclearly an impossible task! Rather, thegoal is to provide readers with (1) an introduction to secondary data analysisin the social sciences, (2) an overview of the range of questions included inthe General Social Survey (GSS) that are related to social inequalities, and (3)some basic techniques for analyzing this data online. Though the analytictechniques covered are basic, it is hoped that through active engagement withonline data analysis, readers will gain a better understanding of social scienceresearch and will be better positioned to ask and answer the questions that areof most interest them.

The first two chapters provide students with an introduction to social sciencesurvey research and an overview of data-related concepts. before proceeding to subsequent chapters. Rather, the book is designedin such a way that readers master these concepts as they progress throughthe subsequent chapters.

statistics, crosstabs, creating charts and graphs, selectingcases) are reinforced in each chapter. Taken together, these chapters providestudents multiple opportunities to practice basic data analysis using a varietyof variables and to investigate a wide range of issues related to socialinequality.

While on work. The analyses presented in these chapters are exploratory, andthe goal is to provide neither a comprehensive overview of these topics nor thefinal word on any of the research questions presented. It is my hope thatreaders will see limitations in all the analyses and exercises presented here,and that this will then entice some to examine these issues with greatertheoretical and methodological complexity.

Acknowledgments

Writing this book has taken several years and would not have been possiblewithout a supportive network of colleagues, friends, and family. At Wake ForestUniversity, I have benefited from working with a number of generous colleagues.I am grateful to Joseph Soares, Ana Wahl, Catherine Ross, and SaylorBreckenridge, each of whom gave me valuable feedback. I am particularly indebtedto Steve Gunkel, who reviewed the entire manuscriptseveral chapters twice!witha fine-tooth comb, and whose insights and attention to detail have improvedliterally every page of the book. It is difficult for me to imagine a moregenerous friend and colleague.

Over the duration of this project, I had the good fortune of working with threeundergraduate research assistants: Sydni Williams, Ann Nguyen, and AshleyMitchell. In addition to providing me with feedback about the book, they havehelped me to think through issues of education, family, and intellectualactivism.

In the process of writing this book, I participated in a panel on intersectionalpedagogy at the 2015 annual meeting of the Southern Sociological Society. Thecomments and discussion that this panel generated were both insightful andmotivating, and I am grateful to the organizers of this panel, Marni Brown andCameron Lippard, for creating a place for this dialogue. In addition, this bookhas benefited from the insights of Joo Luiz Bastos, who has taught me much andhas helped me to think more clearly about intersectionality, social statistics,and the relationship between the two.

Jeff Lasser at Sage has guided me through the publication process, and it hasbeen a wonderful experience to work with and learn from him. I am also gratefulto the individual reviewers who took the time to carefully read and evaluate thebook proposal and manuscript. In particular, I would like to thank Robert S.Bausch, Cameron University; Jennifer Roebuck Bulanda, Miami University; FareedaGriffith, Denison University; Peter Meiksins, Cleveland State University; KerryStrand, Hood College; Esther Isabelle Wilder, Lehman College and The GraduateCenter, The City University of New York (CUNY); Cari Beecham-Bautista, Collegeof DuPage; Jason Lee Crockett, Kutztown University of Pennsylvania; GeoffHarkness, Morningside College; Lorien Lake-Corral, University of Maine atAugusta; William A. Mirola, Marian University; Julia Nevarez, Kean University;Thomas Pieros Shields, University of Massachusetts Lowell; and Maura Ryan,Georgia State University. Their feedback has been invaluable.
