Protesting coal miners at the Friedrich Heinrich/Rheinland colliery in the town of Kamp-Lintfort in March 1997. There was a wave of miners' protests in Winter and Spring 1996/97 as the German Federal Government planned to cut subsidies which would have meant a loss of 60,000 jobs in less than ten years. The banner in front says "We want a perspective for our future". Photo: Betriebsrat Bergwerk West.

The Deindustrialization & the Politics of Our Time (DePOT) project organized a two-part Round-Table Series that invited recent authors of books and special issues on deindustrialization to speak to their major findings and what their overall intervention is to the field. The panelists included leading scholars across the humanities and social sciences in North America and Europe as well as museum and policy professionals.

This series took place between May and June 2021.
