Gregory J. Dimitriadis

Over holiday dinner with friends this week, I described the impact Greg had on me as a friend and colleague. They all agreed he sounded like a wonderful person and such a sad loss for so many of us. I miss him still but his memory will always be with me.

I was friends with Greg in junior high in the Bronx back in 1982. We used to play video games, go to McDonalds and have chicken McNuggets :) and I remember how nice he was then and how intelligently he spoke - he cared about school just like I did. He popped into my mind today out of nowhere and so I thought I´d look him up only to discover this page dedicated to him. To his family my sincere condolences but I know Greg´s spirit is vibrant and strong and will be felt by all of you when u most...

Greg: My students, colleagues, and I have been missing you! Your work forever lives on through those whom you influenced. Your powerful ideas and admirable life continues to remind us what is worthwhile and for whom it is worthwhile to protest against and to act upon in our inquiry and life!

I only learned recently of Greg's death a few years ago. I am much saddened to hear of it. I remember so many good conversations with him--smart, compassionate, full of heart, full of caring for others.

Greg and I shared an office in the basement of Lincoln Hall when we studied our PhD. I am a journal editor, and was looking for people who could read and review a manuscript that just came in. I thought of Greg, that he would be great. Then I looked him up Online, and found out this sad news. Greg was a great guy. That's all I can say. He was a great guy in every sense of the word.

I just learned of Greg's death from Boston College Magazine and just want to say how sorry I am to learn of his passing. My memories of Greg go back to our freshman year of college. It is a privilege to read about his life and see the legacy he has left to so many. That was a side of himself that he tried not to show very often as a college freshman but it was always there. I'm so glad to learn about the man he had become though I'm so sorry for the friends, family and students he left...

I am so saddened to read of Greg Dimitriadis' passing. I learned about this shocking news in the GSE newsletter of UB which I receive in Vienna from time to time. He was a wonderful and thoughtful professor, his classes and his books were inspiring. He left too soon, too young. Sincere condolences to his family and friends.

I was astonished to learn today in the "Boston College Magazine" that Greg Dimitriadis has passed away. My deep sympathy goes to his wife and family. He was my student and we became friends while he was at Boston College. We had both graduated from Fordham Prep and that initial connection was deepened with so many personal and intellectual conversations, especially about Michel Foucault. I am sorry that we lost touch in recent years but my memory of his presence as a young man is very...
