What I remember most about Michael:

- The massive portrait of Gramsci behind his desk, staring down at students during office hours

- Helping edit his edited volume of global sociology, a volume I think about at least once a week

- The way he lived theory

He had so much life left in him

RIP 💔
Michael Burawoy was a wonderful sociologist and person.

We rarely spoke, but we just happened to be emailing in January. He wrote about how much he was loving this phase of his life.

The hit and run scourge is taking so many people who have so much more to live
