Rurality Workshop

On Feb. 15, UC Davis School of Law hosted an intellectual feast in the form of a Law and Rurality Workshop.  Professor Lisa Pruitt, perhaps the nations leading rurality legal scholar, organized and executed an amazing workshop.  Senior Associate Dean for Academic Affairs Afra Afsharipour offered a gracious welcome to the group

Amazing scholars literally from coast to coast presented papers on various issues touching on rural livelihoods, such as environmental law, health law, history, and much more. King Hall Professors Lisa Pruitt, Jack Chin, Lisa Ikemoto, Carlton Larson, Al Lin and Darien Shanske moderated sessions covering sociology, community and economic development, and environmental sciences and offered wonderful insights.

Thanks Professor Pruitt for an amazing event.  I enjoyed attending and learned much.
