Biography and the Sociological Imagination introduces readers to life
course sociology, the imaginative framework with which people can
think about how their lives reflect the imprint of society, how this
imprint reflects the intersection of social changes and personal
development, and how these processes are greatly complicated by each
person's unique location in society. Because life course sociology is
an imaginative framework, Biography and the Sociological Imagination
is less about "what we know" about the life course and more about
"how to think" about changing societies and aging, Drawing from the
latest research and using stories of real people, Shanahan and
Macmillan spur readers to imagine ways of organizing society and the
implications of these alternatives for the biography.
