As grad students, we teased Michael Burawoy for listing "capitalism on earth" as his research interest. We're thrilled that this deeply "Berkeley" feminist perspective on capitalism on earth has been recognized with the 2024 Immanuel Wallerstein Book Prize and now two 2025 awards.

Thrilled to share that The Gender Order of Neoliberalism has been awarded the 2024 Immanuel Wallerstein Memorial Book Award 🏆 and received honorable mentions from both the Sex & Gender Section 💜 and the Marxist Sociology Section ✊!! Congrats @cinziasolari.bsky.social & @professorsmitha.bsky.social!✨
