Established and emerging scholars explore ideas and practices of human rights sociology, which is concerned with the human rights of vulnerable groups in society. Each chapter asks whether a human rights perspective changes the questions that sociologists ask, whether a human rights perspective changes sociologys theoretical perspectives and methods, and whether the sociological enterprise can promote human rights theory, discourse, and implementation toward a better world for all. Separate chapters are devoted to gender, aging, mental health, racial and ethnic minorities, children and youth, sexuality, animals, and disability. The book concludes with a section of chapter-by-chapter discussion questions and links to web sites of organizations and sources of primary documents.
