In May, we will convene in Berkeley for a 2-day conference to honor Neil Fligstein, our retiring mentor, and discuss recent developments in economic sociology and political economy. Many thanks to Berkeley Economy and Society Initiative and the Dept of Sociology.

We cannot wait to hear about @julietschor.bsky.social's new research on companies implementing four-day work trials. I am especially excited to see how it connects to her earlier work, starting with The Overworked American, and her recent writing on climate change and degrowth.

Look look! @bycatherineegan.bsky.social has a new book out.

Looking forward to this! What should I ask Paul?
