| Equality and Achievement: An Introduction to the Sociology of Education | |
| (back to publications page) |
|
Cornelius Riordan Equality and Achievement examines in detail a selective set of studies and theories in the sociology of education. Professor Riordan focuses on the idea that "differences" between and within schools, between homes, and between peer groups are related to systemic ways to differences in educational outcomes. The text provides both empirical data and theoretical background on such topics as gender, class and school size, tracking and single parent households.
