January 28, 2022 – 9am EST (3pm CET)
The study of deindustrialization in France is flourishing with new books, special issues, and dissertations coming out regularly. The DePOT panel will consider this new scholarship and situate it within the transnational field. The panel will be in French but many of the presentations will be subtitled in English – thus bridging the language divide. It therefore represents a good opportunity for all of us to engage with the French scholarship.
With presentations from:
Marion Fontaine
Pascal Raggi
Jackie Clarke
Renaud Becot
Pierre Toussenot
Théo Georget
Serena Boncompagni
Xavier Vigna, discussant
Chaired by Fred Burrill
