Item type:Publication, Honoring George Ritzer: McDonalidizing the unMcDonaldizable?(SAGE Publishing, 2025-12-01)George Ritzer has heralded many of the most field-defining works in the discipline of sociology today. I have known, and worked with, George for nearly all of my adult life. During that time, he has been my professor, my advisor, my co-author, and my friend. Throughout all of my work, and teaching, and personal life, George has always been present. This essay will attempt to honor George Ritzer, both as a global scholar and as a personal mentor, through the lens of some of the fields—metatheory, McDonaldization, globalization, consumption, prosumption—where he has made some of his own most influential contributions.2 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, George Ritzer: The man, the sociologist, the legend(SAGE Publishing, 2025-12-01)This Festschrift honors the enduring legacy of George Ritzer, one of sociology's most influential and recognizable figures. Ritzer's scholarship has helped shape core areas of the discipline—ranging from consumption and social theory to globalization and beyond—while also generating new conceptual terrains such as McDonaldization, prosumption, and the study of “nothing” and “something.” The Festschrift opens with a biographical essay authored by Ritzer himself, highlighting his unconventional path to becoming one of the leading figures in sociology. Beyond his published work, Ritzer has shaped the field through founding key academic outlets, editing influential reference works, mentoring numerous scholars, and inspiring broad audiences by translating complex ideas from the ivory tower into concepts that can be more easily understood.2
