The 85th Annual Meeting of the Rural Sociological Society | University of Vermont

August 2-6 | Burlington, VT

Theme:
Pursuing Equity and Access in Development – Roles for Rural-Focused Public Scholars
 
Rural-focused scholars have long engaged in research, education, outreach, and extension efforts that intersect with a range of development issues (under many labels) at the community, regional, national, and even global levels. In our current era of debate over massive investments in physical, technological, and social infrastructures and services coupled with concerns over resilience in the face of climate change and multiple forms of conflict, the theme for the 2023 conference focuses attention on the roles played by rural scholars committed to public engagement and the need to chart pathways for future work. We are collectively positioned to address and amplify equity and access in development to move dialogue forward, issues of ever-growing relevance in these tumultuous and uncertain times.

Research and Interest Groups (RIGS)

What are Research and Interest Groups? Research and Interest Groups (RIGs) reflect the substantive interests of RSS Members and serve as an important avenue for connecting members with similar interests.  RIGs serve a critical role in RSS including: identifying, developing, and recruiting for the annual RSS conference; planning special events, speakers, and field trips for the annual conference; providing intellectual leadership in their respective areas; rewarding achievement through internal awards and recognitions; and creating opportunities for members, particularly graduate students, to network and identify colleagues with similar interests. 

RSS currently has 14 RIGs.
