Distinguished Visitor Maris Gillette, Des Lee Professor of Museum and Community History Studies, University of Missouri-St. Louis and Director of the Museum Studies Graduate Program
Americans typically think about China as the winner when it comes to global manufacturing. China is #1 in the global manufacturing competitiveness ranking, and since 2002 has added more workers in manufacturing than the entire manufacturing workforce of the US. As the US and Europe have deindustrialized, manufacturing jobs have fled to China, or so the usual narrative goes. But is the story so simple? Gillette takes a look at globalization and deindustrialization from Jingdezhen, the city known for centuries as China's porcelain capital.
Tea at 4:15 p.m.
