The final conference programme for Gender, Family, and Deindustrialisation, the annual conference of the Deindustrialisation and the Politics of Our Time (DéPOT) partnership project is now live.
Taking place from June 24-26 at the University of Strathclyde in Glasgow, the event features a number of extramural activities on the opening day, including a walk around Govan to better understand Glasgow’s shipbuilding heritage, and a Glasgow Black history walking tour.
For the opening keynote speech, Florence Sutcliffe-Braithwaite (University College London) and Natalie Thomlinson (University of Reading) will talk on ‘Gender, Deindustrialisation and Political Subjectivities’ before a series of concurrent sessions.
On the final day, Fanny Gallot (CRHEC, Université Paris-Est Créteil) will deliver the keynote address on ‘Reproductive Work and Deindustrialization: Historiographical Perspectives’, before further concurrent sessions and a final roundtable event.
The Society for the Study of Labour History and other organisations are supporting the event and providing funding to enable it to take place.
Funded by the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council (SSHRC) of Canada, DéPOT is a partnership project consisting of 33 partner organizations and 24 co-applicants and collaborators from six countries in Western Europe (Italy, France, Germany and the UK) and North America (Canada, United States). The partnership examines the historical roots and lived experience of deindustrialization as well as the political responses to it. The overall goal is to understand deindustrialization in transnational and comparative perspective, its causes, the responses to it, its effects, and its legacies.
