A "workshop celebration" in honor of Sidney Tarrow, the Maxwell M. Upson Professor of Government, will take place June 3-4 at the A.D. White House to commemorate Tarrow's 40-year career at Cornell. The event is free and open to the public.

The event, "Politics, Power and Movements," will feature some of the world's top researchers in social movement studies, according to organizer Sydney Van Morgan, associate director of the Cornell Institute for European Studies. Workshop leaders include many of Tarrow's former students as well as friends and colleagues from Cornell and elsewhere.

A keynote panel will be held at 4 p.m. June 3. Panelists Joseph LaPalombara, Yale University; Sarah Soule, Stanford University; David S. Meyer, University of California-Irvine; Cornell professor of government Ken Roberts; and Cornell associate professor of sociology Kim Weeden will discuss Tarrow's scholarly contributions and achievements. A reception on the A.D. White House garden patio will follow the panel.

The event is sponsored by the Cornell Institute for European Studies, which Tarrow founded, as well as by the Walter S. Carpenter Jr. Chair of International Studies, the Center for the Study of Inequality, the Department of Government, the Department of Sociology, the Mario Einaudi Center for International Studies and the John L. Senior Chair of American Institutions.
