Professor and Director of International Political Economy Emelie Peine co-wrote an op-ed in a recent issue of Inside Higher Ed. In the piece, titled “Stop With the Rural-Bashing on Campus” Peine and her co-author argue that stereotypes about rural communities are harmful and encourage faculty to view the 2024 election cycle as a chance to teach students critical thinking skills and empathy.
“As we embark on another fall semester that coincides with a contentious presidential election in which rural-urban dynamics—and tensions—are attracting attention, we have a responsibility as educators to challenge antirural bias,” Peine writes. “It is incumbent upon us to ensure that our institutions are places where rural students and faculty know that they, too, belong.”
