Pritzker Fellow Sister Simone Campbell on "Shared Problems, Different Tactics: Looking Deeper at the Urban Rural Divide"

(Current UChicago Students Only)

Tuesday, February 20

12:30-1:45 PM 

What are the principles of those living in rural communities? Why don’t rural people protest? What matters to rural communities? We will explore some of the challenges that rural communities face in housing, healthcare, economic opportunity, etc. Many of the issues that are described as “urban” issues also show up in rural communities. Everything from housing to healthcare and education to the environment are issues in our various communities. However, the strategies and tactics for addressing these issues need to be different. How can we address the needs of all our communities?

Special Guest: Heidi Heitkamp, Director, University of Chicago Institute of Politics & former United States Senator (ND)
