The sudden and tragic loss of Michael Burawoy is devastating beyond words. A peerless scholar, mentor, teacher, activist, and friend, with a wry wit and an enormous heart. The only consolation is that he brought so many of us together, an extended family of kin who strive to carry on his legacy.

I’m super sorry to hear that😢 Burawoy’s research inspired me and shaped my research, like many other fellow labor sociologists.
