Roundtable – Policies and Programs: Deindustrialization and the Environment

Deindustrialization and the Politics of Our Time

Friday November 7th at 9:30am Eastern Time

Join DePOT’s Deindustrialization and the Environment working group to discuss ongoing research

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.
