Andre Junqueira Caetano2000BrazilFull Professor, Pontifícia Universidade Católica de Minas GeraisJoe taught me to think - not how to think - logically and critically without a single word; I realized that a couple of years after I left Austin, back in Brazil (I think I told it to Joe once in Cape Town); my dissertation pales, everything else pales in comparison; my admiration and gratitude turned into something that I guess is a kind of quiet love that lingers on...

Erin R. Hamilton2005United StatesProfessor, Department of Sociology, University of California DavisI remember he was delighted when I explained to him that even a null result on my MA thesis project was theoretically interesting. I can imagine his face now: serious, puzzled, thinking hard, and then the biggest, broadest grin and guffaw. "What?! So it doesn't matter!! HA!" Followed by quickly back to serious.

Claudia Masferrer2007-2008MexicoProfessor, CEDUA, El Colegio de MexicoI was not his student, but Joe was always happy to mentor, give advice and introduce me to others. He convinced me to go to UT. I was working in SEDESOL, where Joe had good friends (because he knew everyone and everyone knew him!). I visited Austin and Joe put me in touch with Bryan Roberts. Joe is missed by many from Colmex, CONAPO, and other Mexican institutions.
