Remembering Deindustrialization: Conversations with European Trade Unionists

Remembering Deindustrialization: Conversations with European Trade Unionists is a key project for WG1 “Transformation of Work.” We developed guidelines for conducting narrative biographical interviews with retired European trade unionists from various countries and industrial sectors. The guidelines reflect the Slow Memory project’s core principles, helping us gather thoughtful, unhurried conversations that reveal the complex layers of European deindustrialization through the personal experiences of trade unionists. To date, we’ve recorded 21 interviews in Germany, Hungary, Italy, Luxembourg, Poland, Spain, Sweden, and the United Kingdom. These interviews are now archived at the University of Warsaw, and we’re currently working on video clips showcasing selected excerpts. The interviews will also be used in our publications, podcast, and online exhibition. This project is made possible with support from both the COST Action initiative and the University of Warsaw’s IDUB New Ideas program.
