Mesosociology

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Mesosociology or mezzosociology deals with analyses of concepts like stratification by income, age, gender, race, ethnicity; organizations (functionally circumscribed social structures) and communities (geographically circumscribed social structures). As such, mesosociology lies between analysis of large-scale macro forces such as the economy or human societies (which is a domain of macrosociology), and everyday human social interactions on a small scale are (domain of a microsociology).
