Our fifth seminar in our Austerity and Altered Life-Courses series focuses on austerity’s histories. Research on austerity across the social sciences and humanities reminds us that contemporary austerity is rooted in longer term, embedded and ongoing legacies of political and economic change, including but not limited to neoliberalism, colonialism, globalization and post-industrialism. These historical moorings can be problematic when approached as nostalgic and gone-by, particularly as the realities of austerity cut so deeply and so unevenly. This session presents new research that accounts for the memories, reminders, landscapes, remains, and intergenerational traumas related to austerity, presently and prospectively. Our international panel will introduce their research on the histories of austerity, and how these space-times are relational and geographically embedded. We will also have time for small groups discussions.
Our confirmed speakers are:
Michael Vine (Max Planck Institute, Germany)
Nadya Ali (Citizen’s Advice, UK)
Rosie Hampton (Uni of Glasgow, UK)
Amy Walker (Martin Luther University, Germany)
Sander van Lanen (Groningen University, The Netherlands)
