Stop Rural Bashing on Campuses, Professor Pruitt Urges in Inside Higher Ed

Professor Lisa Pruitt and University of Puget Sound Professor Emelie Peine published a Sept. 11 opinion piece for Inside Higher Ed headlined “Stop With the Rural-Bashing on Campuses.”

“We have a responsibility as educators to challenge antirural bias,” the scholars wrote.

Distinguished Professor of Law Lisa R. Pruitt is a scholar whose recent work explores the legal relevance of rural spatiality, including how it inflects dimensions of gender, race, and ethnicity. Pruitt's work also considers rural-urban difference in transnational and international contexts. She is the recipient of the law school’s 2020 Distinguished Teaching Award.
