Rural America in the Age of COVID: Myths, Realities, and a Way Forward in 2020
Rural America has come to the nation’s attention. But much discussion in the media and coffee shops, at conferences and dinner tables, relies on incorrect or no data, idyllic or dystopic tropes and images, and opinion uninformed by rural experience. These myths have become a major obstacle to crafting a robust agenda for rural America and garnering support for policy change. The full picture of rural America is quite different. Join us for a frank and revealing exchange about the real rural America and the implications this has on policy with panelists: Katharine Ferguson, Associate Director of the Aspen Institute Community Strategies Group and Rob Riley, President of the Northern Forest Center.
