Opinion Piece on Rural America and Diversity Mentions Professor Pruitt

An April 30 opinion piece in the Carroll (Iowa) Times-Herald, headlined “Rural Iowans must see themselves as part of nation’s diversity,” makes note of a recent Daily Yonder interview with Professor Lisa R. Pruitt. Read the op-ed.

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.
