Sociological thinking allows people to ask questions about things that may otherwise be taken for granted. Thinking about the seasons sociologically opens up a unique perspective for studying and understanding social life. Each chapter in this collection approaches the seasons and the passage of time as a way to explore issues of sociological interest. The authors use seasonality as a device that can bridge, in fascinating ways, small-scale interpersonal interactions and large formal institutional structures. These contemporary, Canadian case studies are wide-ranging and include analyses of pumpkin spice lattes, policing in schools, law and colonialism, summer cottages, seasonal affective disorder, New Year\u0026amp;#x2019;s resolutions, Vaisakhi celebrations, and more. \u003ci\u003eSeasonal Sociology\u003c\/i\u003e offers provocative new ways of thinking about the nature of our collective lives.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eList of Figures\u003cbr\u003eList of Tables\u003cbr\u003ePreface\u003cbr\u003eAcknowledgements\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIntroduction\u003cbr\u003eTonya K.
