The International Sociological Association (ISA) has been concerned for some time and condemned the acts of violence that have occurred in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
"if you had a dream and fought for hope and tried to pass it on to those who remain, perhaps a small breath will linger in the hills, in the seas, a faint memory that is worth more than a monument, than a book, than a hymn, than a poem, the human hope that is being realized in new generations."
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"

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
