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. We have invited several of Tilly’s many colleagues and students to send in essay tributes. In addition, we have created a site with Annotated Links to Charles Tilly Resources.
