Poverty and Patriarchy? Exploring Social Implications of the Oil Industry
30 November 2018
This is a call for participants to take part in interviews for a PhD project investigating the social history of the oil industry in France and Algeria between 1956 and 1986. I will be looking to interview people who have experience of the Algerian and/or French oil industry over this period, for example, former employees, residents of oil towns, or residence near oil installations, such as refineries or pipelines.
