ACE Lunch Lecture: Mi, 11. November | 12 – 13:30 Uhr | Zoom

Conquering (with) Concrete. German Construction Companies as Global Players in Local Contexts.

Lunch Lecture with Dr. Monika Motylinska (Leibniz Institute for Research on Society and Space) on the research project “Conquering (with) Concrete. German Construction Companies as Global Players in Local Contexts”. The Project explores how German firms shaped Africa and Latin America through the 20th century, following the flows of capital, labour, and concrete, and asking how “Made in Germany” became an unquestioned mark of quality. This Lecture is part of the seminar “Whose Resources: Was ist nötig um zu bauen?”. The seminar examines labour relations and resource extraction in the construction industry, and how they connect. The lecture is public and it will be followed by a Q&A. For the link, please send an email to: ana.bisbicus[at]uni-kassel[dot]de

Moderated by WM Ana Bisbicus and Uni. Prof. Dr. Gabu Heindl
