Rothschild’s Introduction to Sociology was adapted by Dr. Teal Rothschild from the OpenStax College textbook, Introduction to Sociology 2e, which was licensed under a CC-BY license.

My name is Teal Rothschild and I am a Professor of Sociology in the Anthropology+Sociology Department at Roger Williams University. I have taught sociology for over twenty years, eighteen of which have been at Roger. I love teaching and am constantly rethinking how best to deliver and emphasize material in sociology. Online Education Resources (OER) has allowed me to modify a very good textbook to fit the needs of our particular class. I am grateful for the foundation of the original OER Open Stax Introduction to Sociology textbook.  I think this modified textbook will make our class even more dynamic.  This is a living document that will be updated organically as new, appropriate content surfaces.  Additionally, I will make changes and add reminders to the text if as a class it is clear we need to ‘speed up’ or ‘revisit’ previous material.
