Keeping the Conversation Alive, Remembering Michael Burawoy
Abstract
Michael Burawoy was passionate about people. He wove deeply personal relationships with thousands of people across all continents. He was genuinely interested in the human beings he met during his fieldwork, in his classrooms, within academia, and in everyday life, four spheres that were never separated in Michael’s work and life. He was generous as a teacher, as a researcher, as an intellectual leader, and, above all, as a human being.
