Michael Burawoy and Laleh Behbehanian at the University of California, Berkeley this year conducted an experimental undergaduate course in “global sociology”. This included a series of talks which were broadcast online via youtube and the ISA website. Speakers included David Harvey, Ananya Roy, Ching Kwan Lee, and Erik Olin Wright, to name a few at random. The best way to access the videos and the syllabus is via the blog. Enjoy!
Emotions & Power
I have had an article, my first, published in The Journal of Political Power (formally the Journal of Power). I show the first page below in an act of shameless self promotion! However, I can recommend the entire issue, which includes an interview with Michael Mann and a very interesting paper on legitimacy by Jonathan Hearn. Indeed, get your library to subscribe to the whole journal-some great papers over the years. Comments on the paper welcome-and please cite at will!
