It is a very good idea to hold this debate and examine this serious criticism!

This Friday! I'll be participating in what promises to be a lively debate on @ruhr-uni-bochum.de Stefan Berger's controversial intervention into the field of deindustrialization studies.

This week! Don't forget to sign up if you'd like to join our roundtable

A very special moment in Paris with our DePOT artists in residence Rémy Chhem and Paul Tom. I've known Remy and Paul for almost two decades, since the onset of the Montreal Life Stories project. It was great to have them as part of DePOT this year.

And the inevitable 'class of' 2025 group photo of our Deindustrialization Summer Institute in Longwy - with the fallen blast furnace (at the end of the golfing driving range) behind us.

Every DePOT summer institute for emerging scholars is unique. This year, our 4th, it was in deindustrialized Longwy - yes, that's a fallen blast furnace at the end of a golf course driving range - and Nancy in France. Huge thanks to the organizing committee and hosts!
