Sociological imagination
Sociological imagination is a term used in the field of sociology to describe a framework for understanding social reality that places personal experiences within a broader social and historical context.[1]
It was coined by American sociologist C. Wright Mills in his 1959 book The Sociological Imagination to describe the type of insight offered by the discipline of sociology.[2]: 5, 7 Today, the term is used in many sociology textbooks to explain the nature of sociology and its relevance in daily life.[1]
