Where did all the jobs go? A CIH and DePOT Roundtable
October 21, 2022 @ 12:00 pm - 1:30 pm
Where did all the jobs go? What the history of deindustrialization can tell us about working-class survival in the face of economic change
In the midst of global ecological crisis, working-class communities formed around resource extractive industries face an uncertain future. What lessons can be learned from the experience of diverse working-class areas across Canada and the Western world who have navigated the treacherous waters of deindustrialization in earlier periods, and who continue to live in the aftermath of shutdowns?
Moderator: Jim Ellis, Director of the Calgary Institute for the Humanities (CIH).
