Collyer, University of Wollongong, Australia ‘In addition to providing brilliant syntheses and significant advances on the “classical” tradition of sociology of knowledge, this Handbook is characterized by a strong desire to decentralize the field. By including reflections on the struggles surrounding the canon, the coloniality of knowledge and ways of negotiating its legitimacy, it helps to broaden the field with new references and new avenues.’ – Stéphane Dufoix, Université Paris-Nanterre, France June 2025 c 540 pp Hardback 978 1 80037 663 2 c £235.00 / c $330.00 eBook • Elgaronline Research Handbooks in Sociology series Handbook of Social Psychology Edited by Lisa Slattery Walker, University of North Carolina at Charlotte and Gretchen Peterson, University of Memphis, USA ‘This is a timely and impressive volume. It brings together an excellent cast of leading scholars from the tradition of sociological social psychology, which aims to understand the interconnections of “social structure and social interaction.” The chapters nicely convey the unifying themes, distinctive scope, and wideranging applications of sociological approaches to social psychology. The chapters are wellgrounded in relevant research literatures while also being much more than simple reviews of that work. Each chapter has an attractive “freshness” that stimulates the reader to think beyond what has been done and to see new connections and opportunities for development. Importantly, the volume also charts important new areas for investigation that bridge to other academic disciplines. This Handbook will be an invaluable resource for any scholar or student who is concerned with the interface of social structures and social interactions, regardless of their academic area or discipline.’ – Edward J.

This book makes a timely contribution to discussion regarding the transformations of welfare states and their social implications, as it highlights a third and profound transition that accompanies the first two: the demographic shift. The book offers an innovative analysis of how various welfare state institutions can enhance social integration and well-being in aging societies.
