SUMMARY:Désindustrialisation\, nation\, immigration : quelles réponses politiques ? / Deindustrialization\, Nation\, Immigration: What Political Responses?
DESCRIPTION:Deindustrialization\, Nation\, Immigration: What Political Responses? \nDeindustrialization\, which began affecting North America and Northwestern Europe in the 1950s\, unevenly impacted various workforces. These groups\, which have experienced mass layoffs and relocations due to globalization and trade liberalization\, include both men and women\, national and immigrant workers\, and racialized individuals\, some of whom have been replaced by lower-paid\, less protected labor forces. This powerful movement gained momentum in the late 1970s and early 1980s\, at a time when the labor movement was at its peak and social democratic parties held power\, particularly in Western Europe. \nIn this context\, deindustrialization profoundly destabilized the labor movement and left-wing parties\, which faced an immense political\, strategic\, and intellectual challenge. This challenge arised from the disappearance of an industrial model that provided a framework\, the crisis of countercyclical economic and social policies\, and\, last but not least\, the erosion of their electoral base. Simultaneously\, chauvinistic or xenophobic reactions\, which traditionally accompany economic and political crises\, have multiplied\, aiding the consolidation of far-right movements that denounce the presence of immigrants\, unfair foreign competition\, and even local populations or entire regions perceived as burdens taking advantage of the social welfare system. \nWhile some of these issues regularly capture media and public attention\, it is clear that proper historical analyses linking these different elements are still lacking. The same applies to comparisons between regional and national situations. \nThe aim of this conference is to shed light on these different contexts from a historical perspective\, and to rearticulate these contemporary phenomena to understand how different forms of deindustrialization challenge issues of race\, immigration\, and nation. It also seeks to explore how these processes transform the political responses that can be offered to these issues. Case studies focusing on a particular situation\, territory\, or group are welcome (in Europe and North America during the late 20th-early 21st century but also in the global South). We also encourage papers that cross categories\, compare territories\, or vary the scales of analysis. \nSeveral non-exclusive avenues of inquiry may be explored\, including: Race\, nation\, and immigrant labor; Between powerlessness and action\, between blindness and awareness: what responses from workers’ movements?; Populism\, far-right\, and deindustrialization. \n  \nConference News  \nThe program is now available in English and French. \n  \nThe call for papers is now available on our website! Read and download it in French or English here. \nFrequently Asked Questions  \nAs conference organization proceeds\, we will be updating this page with more information about venues\, conference hotels\, program information\, and more information to help prepare attendance.

SUMMARY:Gender\, Family\, and Deindustrialization — DePOT annual conference
DESCRIPTION:In deindustrialization studies\, representations of industrial closures have often dwelled on the ways that masculinity is threatened or reconfigured through the experience of job loss and on the erosion of collective ties and spaces linked to the world of work. Conversely\, women have appeared only on the fringes of the literature on deindustrialization\, sometimes in their capacities as wives and mothers\, but increasingly also as displaced workers in their own right. DePOT seeks to bring the history of deindustrialisation into productive dialogue with histories of youth\, the body\, health\, the home and the caring economy.  \nThis conference\, the culmination of our project’s Gender\, Family\, and Deindustrialization research initiative\, features researchers from a variety of disciplinary and regional backgrounds. Registration is free. With a program of three concurrent panels\, two keynotes\, and a plenary with DePOT’s artists-in-residence planned\, we are excited to see you in Glasgow!  \n  \nOrganizing committee: Jackie Clarke\, Arthur McIvor\, Rebekah Chatellier\, Piyusha Chatterjee\, and Yvonne McFadden \nLinks and resources \n\nRegistration link\nFINAL conference program \nAccessAble page for the University of Strathclyde\nAccessAble page for the Graham Hills Building

SUMMARY:Depot Summer Institute: Difficult histories of gender and community
DESCRIPTION:DePOT Summer Institutes bring together graduate students and postdoctoral fellows as well as select faculty and partners to workshop their latest research in a small supportive setting. Summer Institutes are timed to occur on the eve of the project’s thematic workshops and assembly in order to encourage participants to attend these as well. It is an opportunity to forge connection with other deindustrialization researchers and receive critical feedback on work in progress. \nThis year\, we will be coming together at Queen’s University Belfast for an exciting line-up of student talks\, discussion plenaries\, workshops\, and walking tours of the city. On June 23\, we will be traveling to Glasgow for DePOT’s project assembly and annual conference. \nThe Summer Institute is open to DePOT-affiliated students\, postdoctoral fellows\, researchers\, and partners. Please use the link on Basecamp to register or email deindustrialization@concordia.ca for more. We’re excited to share the program shortly! \nOrganizing committee: Sinead Burns\, Adna Camdzic\, Shonagh Joice\, and Naomi Petropoulos \nClick here to download the final program!

SUMMARY:DePOT Annual Conference: The Politics of Industrial Closure
DESCRIPTION:Le français suit: \nThe DePOT Politics of Industrial Closure conference will focus primarily on the “how” and “why” of mine\, mill and factory closings\, the wider restructuring of the international division of labour\, as well as the societal debates about the nature of economic change. Political economy concerns are therefore central as are studies focusing on working-class resistance\, concession and loss. We are also interested in the beginnings of industrial heritage recognition as well as arts-based responses to industrial closure. \nWhile registration on Eventbrite is encouraged to help with conference organizing\, community walk-ins are welcome and encouraged! \nIf you have any questions about the conference or your registration\, please email deindustrialization@concordia.ca \nKeep an eye on our website for a preview of the program and other news. \nYou can find the final program here. \n____________________________________________________________________________________ \nLa conférence du projet DéPOT sur “La politique de la fermeture industrielle” se concentrera sur le “comment” et le “pourquoi” des fermetures de mines\, de moulins et d’usines\, ainsi que sur la restructuration plus large de la division internationale du travail et les débats sociétaux concernant la nature du changement économique. Les questions d’économie politique sont donc centrales\, tout comme les études portant sur la résistance\, les concessions et les pertes de la classe ouvrière. \nNous encourageons les participants à s’inscrire sur Eventbrite en avance pour nous aider à planifier la conférence\, mais nous encourageons les membres de la communauté à venir même sans billet! \nSi vous avez des questions sur la conférence ou votre inscription\, veuillez nous rejoindre à deindustrialization@concordia.ca \nGardez un oeil sur notre site web pour voir un aperçu du programme. \nVous pouvez consulter le programme finalisé ici.
