“Public sociology is a form of education: speaking out beyond the university also performs an educative function.”

Just before he died, Michael Burawoy talked to @michaelacbenson.bsky.social about his career-defining evangelism for public – or, alternatively, a living – sociology.

Michael Burawoy’s passing is a great loss to so many. I was very fortunate to have met Michael on one of his visits to South Africa. This video of the public lecture he gave demonstrates how at home he was speaking to activists and academics together. A special evening. m.youtube.com/watch?v=N4ac...
