In recent decades, the sociology of education has been predominantly focused on quantitative analyses of racial, class, and gender disparities in educational achievement. While this research is undeniably significant, it has inadvertently neglected numerous other fruitful areas of inquiry. This book takes that issue seriously, examining the trajectory of the field since the 1960s and advocating for its revitalization. The contributors argue that the sociology of education has largely remained entrenched in themes, concepts, and theories that were developed decades ago, despite significant changes in both the real world of education and the discipline of sociology itself. They contend that the time has come to break free from the past and embark on a new journey of asking new questions and developing innovative empirical studies.

Education in a New Society serves as both a rallying cry and a roadmap for the field. It will inspire scholars to challenge the status quo and explore uncharted territories, ultimately leading to the advancement of our understanding of education and its role in shaping society. By embracing a renewed focus on empirical research and interdisciplinary collaboration, the sociology of education can reclaim its relevance and contribute to the betterment of educational outcomes for all individuals.
