Black lives and communities have been largely erased in narratives of deindustrialization and its effects in the U.S., where most public and academic discourse about the economic shifts of the late twentieth century focus on the iconic white industrial worker. Sherry Lee Linkon will speak about ways in which Black women have been pushing back on that erasure, offering plays, fiction, essays, and photographic projects – a varied body of work, revealing a Black deindustrial imaginary of labor, family, and political resistance.

On the opening evening, we are particularly looking forward to the conference's first keynote lecture with Prof. Dr. Colin Crouch (University of Warwick & Max Planck Society | MPI for the Study of Societies). The British sociologist will explore a central paradox of late 20th century organized industrial relations: that the most powerful and centralized trade union organizations seemed to exercise wage restraint. What, then, did they offer their members? The answer seemed to be that they delivered social policy and non-wage benefits. In his talk, Colin Crouch will explore how this pattern has survived recent changes.
