Dear RC23 members,

As President of RC23, I welcome you to the Winter’22 Issue of the RC23 Newsletter!

This issue presents the original paper of Alfred Nordmann “Revisiting the Phoenix Phenomenon - A Study of Mertonian Sociology of Science”.

The winter edition highlights also the information about the new book “The Anthem Companion to Robert K. Merton” edited by Charles Crothers & Lorenzo Sabetta.

RC23 is actively preparing for the XX World Congress «Resurgent Authoritarianism: The Sociology of New Entanglements of Religions, Politics, and Economies» (Melbourne, Australia, June 25-July1 2023). You can find the important deadlines in this issue.

We look forward to having an interesting and productive RC23 program at the XX World Congress in Melbourne, Australia!

Happy healthy prosperous 2023 Year!
