In Canada, the United States, Australia, and other settler colonies, the dispossession of Indigenous land is integral to histories of industrialization. Resource industries like forestry, mining and oil are inextricably tied to the exploitation of Indigenous peoples. How then, do scholars of deindustrialization respond, when the “good jobs” lost during industrial closure were directly implicated in the ongoing dispossession of Indigenous lands? Join DePOT affiliates as they propose new directions for working through this tension in deindustrialization studies.
