We have a special episode today from DePOT affiliates at the University of Luxembourg examining the steel crisis in Luxembourg in the 1970s and the deindustrialization of East Germany's steel sector after 1990. Stefan Krebs, the head of the project Confronting Decline (CONDE) is joined by two PhD students, Zoé Konsbruck and Nicolas Arendt to discuss their research into the impacts industrial closure had on steel towns, with a particular emphasis on transnational comparisons.

In this episode, Andy Clark of Newcastle University discusses his research on aging under deindustrialization in Britain. Utilizing an existing birth cohort study and an oral history approach, Andy explores questions of health impacts, social gerontology, and economic change. Part way through his oral interview process, Andy shares his preliminary findings, some of which challenge assumptions about getting older in the aftermath of closure.
