DéPOT: Deindustrialization and the Politics of Our Time Deindustrialization and the Politics of Our Time
-
- Wetenschap
The DéPOT partnership examines the historical roots of deindustrialization and the contemporary responses to it. The goal is to understand deindustrialization in transnational or comparative perspective, its causes, the responses to it, its effects, and its legacies. The partnership joins 25 leading specialists in the study of deindustrialization as well as 18 research centres and 16 industrial museums, heritage groups, trade unions, labour archives, Indigenous organizations, and publishers. The focus is on the transnational connections between and comparisons among the United States, Canada, Germany, France, Italy, and the United Kingdom – the heart of the old “industrial world.”
The DéPOT podcast serves as a place for deindustrialization-related conversations about research, methodology, and publications, primarily with graduate student and post doctoral affiliates and co-investigators.

DePOT 2023 Conference Recap with Lachlan MacKinnon and Sophia Richter
This year the annual DePOT conference was held in Sydney, Nova Scotia, Canada from June 21-24 2023. Two of the organizers, Lachlan MacKinnon and Sophia Richter, join us to talk about the themes of the conference and discuss the deindustrialization of Cape Breton Island. Regional underdevelopment, the role of the state, settler colonialism, and memories of working class radicalism shaped the Cape Breton experience. The conference itself built on connections made last year in the Ruhr, and much of the showcased research was collaborative and transnational.
