Rural America: Shocks, Stressors, and Successes

Inspired by the forthcoming book Rural America in the 2020s: Shocks, Stressors, and Successes, panelists will share lessons from their work across the Mississippi Delta in community development, public health, coalition-building, and rural policy advocacy. Together, panelists and attendees will explore what it means to serve rural communities in ways that respond to local priorities; how community-centered partnerships can advance health equity, food security, and rural economic development; and how students from law and other fields can contribute. Lunch will be served.
