Sociological thinking encourages us to question the aspects of everyday life that we may otherwise take for granted. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eSeasonal Sociology\u003c\/em\u003e takes a sociological approach to thinking about the seasons, providing a unique perspective for understanding social life. Each chapter in this collection explores key issues of sociological interest through the passage of time and seasonal change. The authors wield seasonality as a powerful tool that can bridge small-scale interpersonal interactions with large-scale institutional structures. \u003cbr\u003eThis collection of contemporary Canadian case studies is wide-ranging and analyses topics such as pumpkin spice lattes, policing in schools, law and colonialism, summer cottages, seasonal affective disorder, Vaisakhi celebrations, and more. The second edition introduces new chapters on Labour Day and organized labour, disability and online dating, maple sugar shacks, seasonal agricultural work, wildfires, and social movements like Pride and Black Lives Matter. \u003cem\u003eSeasonal Sociology\u003c\/em\u003e ultimately offers fresh, provocative ways of thinking about the nature of our collective lives.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003eList of Figures\u003cbr\u003eList of Tables\u003cbr\u003ePreface\u003cbr\u003eAcknowledgments\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIntroduction\u003cbr\u003eTonya K.
