A specialist in the sociology of work and industrial sociology, Michael Burawoy was born in 1947 in England to parents who had emigrated from Russia and Ukraine. Raised in Manchester, where his father was a teacher, he earned a degree in mathematics from Cambridge before traveling to Africa. He completed a Master’s in Sociology at the University of Zambia in 1972, followed by a PhD in Sociology at the University of Chicago in 1976. His ethnographic study of a factory on the outskirts of Chicago was published in 1979 under the title Manufacturing Consent. He later compared working-class labor in the United States and Hungary. From 1976 to 1982, he was Assistant Professor in the Department of Sociology at the University of Chicago, where he received tenure after a year spent at the University of Wisconsin–Madison. Promoted to Professor at UC Berkeley in 1988, he spent the rest of his academic career there. President of the American Sociological Association in 2004, he delivered his now-famous presidential address on public sociology (translated into French). From 2010 to 2014, he served as President of the International Sociological Association.
