Have met some truly wonderful people here since March 2012 but it’s time to join the mass flight from the Bird App. I’m keeping the conversation going on LinkedIN or maybe come find me in the skies… linkedin.com/in/mark-davis-… bsky.app/profile/profma…

One heck of an Autumn sky out there tonight 😍

Zygmunt Bauman's 'Selected Writings' series is now complete!📚 'Theory & Society' (edited by Tom Campbell, Dariusz Brzeziński, Mark Davis, and Jack Palmer) brings together hitherto unknown or rare pieces by #Bauman on the theme of theory and society and also makes available previously unpublished material from @BaumanUoL at @UniversityLeeds , as well as rare pieces that were previously unavailable in English. Here Bauman reflects on some of the core concepts of sociology, examines the work of a wide range of social theorists, from #Durkheim and #Gramsci to #AgnesHeller and C. #WrightMills, and addresses an array of key ideas and issues including #inequality, identity and social change. 👉 politybooks.com/bookdetail?boo… #socialtheory #zygmuntbauman #sociology
