Association (ASA) and co-sponsored by the Labor & Labor Movements, Sociology of 

Development, Global and Transnational, Marxist, Environmental and Comparative Historical 

Sections of the ASA that was held on Wednesday, August 10, 2022, on the campus of the

discussion of Immanuel Wallerstein’s theoretical and empirical contributions to social science. A
