A Celebration of the Life of Giovanni Arrighi
April 16, 2010 4:00 PM
President's Reception Lounge, Anderson Center, Binghamton, NY, 13902
Friends: On behalf of the Sociology Department at Binghamton University we invite you to join us in celebrating the life of Giovanni Arrighi on Friday April 16, 2010. For over 20 years Giovanni was a cherished member of our community, as has been made so evident in the many tributes and conversations that we have heard since his passing. We hold this meeting to bring together and share these personal remembrances, and commemorate his life as a group of his friends (a conference on his work will be organized later by Beverly and others).
We plan to have a series of personal tributes from 4 to 6 pm to be followed by a reception. We encourage people, especially those unable to come to Binghamton in April, to send short messages about their experiences with and memories of Giovanni.
Please RSVP to Denise Chewens, the Sociology Department Administrative Assistant at dchewens@binghamton.edu if you are planning to attend the reception.
For people coming from out of town, a block of rooms at concessional rates have been arranged at Quality Inn, Vestal (the former Holiday Inn on Vestal Parkway) at $79.95 a night for a King or a Double room. Please contact the hotel directly at
