- Abstract
- Michael Burawoy will have a long-lasting impact on the way we conceive sociology and its role in society. His work exemplifies how rigorous empirical research can inform and enrich theoretical debates, and vice versa. By integrating local, national, and global perspectives, he has offered comprehensive analyses that resonate across disciplines and inform public and policy discussions. He pleaded “to articulate empirical research with theoretical lenses”. He was as passionate about ethnography as he was about theory. He was interested in analysing the actors as much as the structures of society, which he did with a Marxist lens that he contributed to revisiting and diffusing.
