SUMMARY:ROUNDTABLE: IS THE FIELD OF DEINDUSTRIALIZATION STUDIES TOO ONE SIDED?
DESCRIPTION:Oral history has been the primary methodology of the field of deindustrialization studies for the past quarter century. The field is therefore anchored in working-class lives and the lived interior of deindustrialization. In a draft paper\, DePOT member Stefan Berger provocatively asks if the field has become too one-sided as a result? He argues that “the field would gain in multi-perspectivity by moving away from its one-sided focus on working-class memories of deindustrialization.” The virtual session will begin with a 15-minute presentation from Stefan Berger and we will then hear from a series of respondents (who have read the paper) for 5-6 minutes each. It will then be opened for questions and comments. \nFriday September 26th 2025 at 9:00am eastern time \nRegister on Eventbrite to get the Zoom link and receive reminder emails ahead of the roundtable! \nChairperson: Steven High (Concordia University) \nPresentation: Stefan Berger (Ruhr-Universitaet Bochum) \nRespondents: Fred Burrill (University of New Brunswick)\, Xavier Vigna (University of Paris-Nanterre)\, Amber Ward (University of St. Andrews)\, Bharat Sundararajan (University of St. Andrews)\, Emiliano Aguilar (University of Notre Dame) \n

SUMMARY:ROUNDTABLE - POLICIES AND PROGRAMS: DEINDUSTRIALIZATION AND THE ENVIRONMENT
DESCRIPTION:DePOT’s Deindustrialization and the Environment working group is pleased to host its first roundtable\, Policies and Programs: Deindustrialization and the Environment. This session brings together eight scholars whose research examines the intersections of industrial decline\, environmental activism and remediation\, and policy responses by a variety of levels of government. Presentations will consider how states\, companies\, and communities respond to the environmental legacies of deindustrialization\, including questions surrounding the construction of uneven geographies of remediation and sacrifice zones. Drawing from several national and local contexts\, the panel will highlight how difference policy frameworks shape the aftermath of deindustrialized spaces and landscapes. \n\nFriday November 7th at 9:30am Eastern Time \n\nPresenters: \n\nGreg Wilson (University of Akron)\nValerio Caruso (Institute for Mediterranean Studies)\nPetra Dolata (University of Calgary) & Julian Rioux (University of Saskatchewan)\nShouvik Mukhopadhyay (University of Calcutta) & Indranil Chakraborty (Fanshawe College)\nChris Walley (Massachusetts Institute of Technology)\nDavid Beorlegui (University of the Basque Country)\nSteven High (Concordia University)

SUMMARY:ROUNDTABLE - RESEARCH FROM ENERGY IN SOCIETY
DESCRIPTION:Join DePOT and Energy In Society as we talk extractivism\, energy transitions\, and degrowth!\n\n\n\nDePOT’s Deindustrialization and the Environment working group is pleased to host its second roundtable\, Deindustrialization and Environment: Research from Energy In Society. This session brings together scholars from the Energy In Society working group at the Calgary Institute for the Humanities\, a DePOT partner institution. Based in the “energy province” of Alberta\, these researchers from across a variety of disciplines (anthropology\, history\, communication studies\, political science\, geography\, economics and creative writing) examine questions of deindustrialization and energy transition\, degrowth and extractivism. Presentations will use examples and case studies from Alberta\, Canada and the world to consider the role energy has played in deindustrialization processes and critically engage with the many ways (stories\, political economy\, propaganda etc.) people think about energy industrialization\, deindustrialization and reindustrialization. \nPresenters \nKatelyn Anderson (University of Calgary\, Communication\, Medi and Film) \nAnna Bettini (University of Calgary\, History/Anthropology) \nPetra Dolata (University of Calgary\, History) \nWilliam Gillies (Calgary) \nLilia Garcia Manrique (University of Calgary\, Earth\, Energy\, and Environment) \nJennifer McDougall (University of Calgary\, English) \nMack Penner (University of Calgary\, History/CanCO2Re) \nAna Alicia Watson Jimenez (University of Calgary\, Political Science) \n\nREGISTER HERE
