Since 2020, the Association for Industrial Archaeology (AIA) has been developing and running jointly with the Institute for Cultural Heritage and History of Science & Technology (USTB, China), a series of online industrial archaeology seminars. These are designed to bring together researchers to exchange ideas and knowledge among Western and Eastern colleagues to build a more international and diverse industrial archaeology. Previous seminars have brought together colleagues from Britain, Europe, China, India and south America. Pioneered by the AIA’s Young Members Board (an early career sub-group) these events have become a popular addition to the Association’s promotional work.
There are still free places available on the next online East-West Workshop on Industrial Archaeology. This 5th workshop explores the architecture created for or by industry, and how the post-industrial society transforms and repopulates the spaces of the industrial period. The focus for this seminar will be on China, England, Greece, and Spain to discuss current issues, trends, theoretical and methodological frameworks, and creative approaches in the research, protection, and exploration of historical industrial architecture.
