Professor Pruitt Speaks at Rural Sociology Society Annual Meeting
Professor Lisa R. Pruitt presented two talks at the 73d Annual Meeting of the Rural Sociological Society in Atlanta in August. Her presentations were "Justice Deserts: Spatial Inequality and Local Funding of Indigent Defense," given as part of a panel on "Uneven Development in the United States," and "Deconstructing CEDAW's Article 14: Naming and Explaining Rural Difference," part of a panel on "Women in Development for Institutional Empowerment."
Lisa R. Pruitt is a professor at the UC Davis School of Law whose recent scholarship 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.
