Pepe #Mujica was a prophet of our times, a human being who knew the true value of life.
“You have to know this: life slips away and leaves you minute by minute, and you can't go to the supermarket to buy life. So fight to live it, to give meaning to life"

This was probably not the American pope Trump & Vance thought about!
Let's hope he will stand firm on this.

Tribute to Michael Burawoy, one of the most inspiring sociologists of our times and a wonderful human being.

Online Tribute in Memory of Michael Burawoy
The International Sociological Association (ISA) mourns the tragic passing of Michael Burawoy (1947-2025), a leading sociologist, Professor of Sociology at UC Berkeley, and 17th President of ISA (2010–2014).
We will miss his guidance for a stronger and more relevant @isa-sociology, his quest for social and epistemological justice, and his unique smile and enthusiasm.
One of the most inspiring sociologists of our times, and, above all, an extraordinary human being.
#MichaelBurawoy left us at a time we most needed his leadership, his energy, his tireless work to understand our world, his example as an extraordinary teacher, his faith in a relevant public sociology, his openness to a global dialogue, his energy against injustice
