The presentation, \u201cBethlehem Steelworkers: Reshaping the Industrial Working Class\u201d, will take place on Wednesday, November 13, at 5:30 p.m. in Beers Lecture Hall. The presentation will also be live streamed on the ESU <a href=\"https:\/\/www.esu.edu\/live-events\/index.cfm\">Live Events webpage<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>In her presentation Dr. Schennum will explore the moral economy forged inside Bethlehem Steel\u2019s flagship mill as experienced by the last generation of Bethlehem, PA steelworkers. Schennum is a cultural anthropologist who has conducted 15 years of ethnographic research on ex-steelworkers and processes of deindustrialization in Bethlehem, PA. She is author of the new book, \u201cAs Goes Bethlehem: Steelworkers and the Restructuring of an Industrial Working Class\u201d.\u00a0 Her research explains how workers entering the mill in the 1960s and early 1970s walked into what they described as a \u201cdifferent world\u201d.\u00a0 One in which social relations built inside a union-mediated workplace gave strength to steel workers. This position of power was then eroded by 20 years of deindustrialization, ending in bankruptcy of the corporation. Ultimately, a \u201cnew economy\u201d was redefined in the region. These processes of deindustrialization continue to shape contemporary American politics and have contributed to the creation of a more precarious and insecure U.S. working class.<\/p>\n<p>For more information about the Provost\u2019s Colloquium Series, contact Lynne Ozgur, assistant director, office of sponsored projects and research, at (570) 422-7908 or <a href=\"mailto:lozgur@esu.edu\">lozgur@esu.edu<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>ESU\u2019s Provost\u2019s Colloquium Series, concludes the Fall 2024 semester with a presentation by Jill Schennum, Ph.D., professor and chair of social sciences, County College of Morris.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":51,"featured_media":23762,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"categories":[143,42,84,58],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-23759","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-community","category-news-release","category-ospr-news","category-slider"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/quantum.esu.edu\/insider\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/23759"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/quantum.esu.edu\/insider\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/quantum.esu.edu\/insider\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/quantum.esu.edu\/insider\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/51"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/quantum.esu.edu\/insider\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=23759"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/quantum.esu.edu\/insider\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/23759\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":23784,"href":"https:\/\/quantum.esu.edu\/insider\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/23759\/revisions\/23784"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/quantum.esu.edu\/insider\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/23762"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/quantum.esu.edu\/insider\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=23759"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/quantum.esu.edu\/insider\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=23759"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/quantum.esu.edu\/insider\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=23759"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
