In memento: Michel Callon (1945-2025)
We are sorry to record the recent death of our esteemed colleague, Professor Michel Callon, who made an enormous contribution to our field.
We share below a brief obituary from his collaborator and friend Donald MacKenzie

The Center for the sociology of innovation learned with great sadness that Michel Callon has passed away.

A graduate of the École des Mines, Michel joined the center in the late 1960s and was its director from 1982 to 1994.
