Only a few weeks before his death on April 29, 2008, Charles Tilly had received the SSRC’s Albert O. Hirschman Prize in recognition of his extensive career spanning the social sciences. He expressed his admiration for Albert Hirschman upon learning of the decision, and was looking forward to delivering the Hirschman Lecture later this year. Several of Tilly’s many colleagues and students have offered the essays below as tributes. More will follow.
