Daily Yonder spotlights Professor Pruitt with Q&A feature

The Daily Yonder spotlighted Professor Lisa R. Pruitt with a Q&A feature published April 2.

In the Q&A, Pruitt shares her thoughts on poverty, class, feminism and the book she has in the works about her journey from small-town Arkansas to the “chattering classes” of California within the larger context of the nation’s growing rural-urban divide. Read the Q&A.

Lisa R. Pruitt, Martin Luther King Jr. Professor at UC Davis School of Law, 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.
