Event details
(Re-)imagining the ‘rural’ and (re-)shaping policy: Capturing and communicating contested narratives and hidden histories.
Hosted by Professor Michael Winter and Dr Joanie Willett from the College of Social Sciences and International Studies at the University of Exeter.
Despite extensive research on the contested nature of rural culture(s) and acknowledgment in policy of the diversity of rural economies we seem to have reached an impasse, with dominant narratives of ‘the rural’ continuing to shape decision-making and accentuate the hidden realities of ‘rural’ life and culture.
This workshop seeks to bring this issue back into focus by exploring how to bring greater agency to ‘rural’ society and explore how capturing and communicating contested narratives and hidden histories could be used more systematically to challenge this ongoing issue.
