Professor Lisa Pruitt was invited to speak at “The Civil War at 150 Years: Deep Wounds Yet to Heal,” a workshop supported by the Carnegie Corporation of New York. Pruitt gave a talk titled “The False Choice Between Race and Class.”

Virginia’s George Mason University School for Conflict Analysis and Resolution  hosted the workshop.

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.
