Michael Burawoy

Sociology is peculiar in that its foundations lie in the works of “canonical” intellectuals, conventionally Marx, Weber and Durkheim. W.E.B. Du Bois presents one counterpoint to the canon and a lightning rod for “decolonization” sweeping through sociology. The talk considers four responses to decolonizing the canon: restoration, rejection, revolution or reconstruction. The talk undertakes “reconstruction” by putting Du Bois into dialogue with Marx, Weber and Durkheim with radical consequences for social science but also challenges for Du Bois.
