## Bio

Born in Poland in 1925, Bauman was expelled during the 1968 political crisis and stripped of his citizenship. He moved to Israel, then three years later to the United Kingdom, settling in England in 1971. He studied at the London School of Economics and rose to Professor of Sociology at the University of Leeds, later emeritus. Across decades he wrote on modernity and the Holocaust, consumerism in postmodernity, and the concept he made his own: liquid modernity. He died in January 2017.
