CRN 24 foregrounds rurality in law and society research. Sociolegal work on the rural touches many substantive areas, including migration and citizenship, gender and sexuality, access to justice, race and ethnicity, courts, crime, food systems, education, and social class.
We offer interdisciplinary attention to the complexity of socio-legal phenomena in rural contexts, and provide space to examine the impacts of rurality on law and social processes through scholarly exchange and collaboration. Our goal is to elicit diverse perspectives and experiences across the varied “rural lawscape.” |
