- Love the cover art for @sociologicalreview.bsky.social magazine by Sevastiana Konstaki - 'Inspired by Michael Burawoy, Sevastiana has visualised “living sociology” … as a woven universe, where verbal interactions and embodied experiences transform into lines, shapes, feelings and emotions.' 1/

- Reposted by Prof Michaela BensonStop what you're doing and read this interview with Michael Burawoy - tragically his last before his untimely death a week later. He's an inspiration for critically and politically engaged sociology & social science, tragically now missing from the world.
