Tributes to Charles Tilly
Only a few weeks before his death on April 29, Charles Tilly had received the SSRC's Hirschman Prize in recognition of his extensive career spanning the social sciences. Javier Auyero, Craig Calhoun, Michael Hanagan, Doug McAdam, John Merriman, Viviana Zelizer, and other of Tilly's colleagues and students pay tribute to this great academic. Among other things, they describe his passion for social science, his eloquence, his wit, his slightly impish style, and his enormous capacity for constructive advice, friendship, and conversation.
Go to tributes. NOTE: Readers are invited to add their own stories and words of appreciation.
