The Michael Burawoy Chair's Endowment for Sociology celebrates the legacy of world-renowned sociologist Michael Burawoy and his many contributions to sociological theory and method and his work to advance public sociology. Your gift to the endowment will help build a foundation of support for the Department of Sociology, including the important work of our graduate students. Professor Burawoy served as an advisor and mentor to generations of undergraduate and graduate students over the last decades; your gift to the endowment will strengthen our ability to support the students of Berkeley Sociology and to ensure the excellence of future research.
