This Workshop remains a joint project facilitated by the Rural Reconciliation Project at the University of Nebraska College of Law (Professor Jessica Shoemaker) and the University of South Dakota Knudson School of Law (Professor Hannah Haksgaard). This year, we are grateful to the University of Iowa College of Law (Professors Brian Farrell and Daria Fisher Page) for acting as our local host and sponsor of the Workshop.

The Law & Rurality Workshop is intended for scholars of all levels and disciplines whose work engages with law and its relation to rural people and places. The Workshop provides a forum for scholars to share and receive feedback on draft works-in-progress that address, broadly, any topic related to rurality and the law, including legal issues viewed through the lens of rurality, rural geographies, or rural-urban difference.

Participants will be expected to read and comment on other draft works.

Full details are in our Call for Proposals here.

For the Fall 2024 workshop, submissions were due August 16, 2024 (archived details here).
