The overall aim of the DéPOT project is to transnationalize our understanding of the historical roots and lived experiences of deindustrialization, as well as political responses to it.

Applicants are invited to upload with their application a statement (500 words) outlining their proposed research and how it will contribute to the project. Topics of interest include but are not limited to: rethinking gendered spaces of deindustrialization (e.g. deindustrialization and leisure, home or consumption); gender and the political economy of deindustrialization; trans-generational perspectives; gender, race and deindustrialization; deindustrialization and the body; queering deindustrialization studies. Transnational and/or comparative proposals are particularly welcome.

The post is based in Glasgow, where the successful candidate will have the opportunity to participate in the Centre for Gender History.

Informal enquiries may be directed to Dr Jackie Clarke Jackie.Clarke@glasgow.ac.uk
