I am stunned to be a #MacFellow. I am held in the cradle of a community that makes my work possible. I can only make sense of this by thinking it is them: those brave people fighting the good fight for their homes in the countryside and at the university. I am forever grateful.
Meet Loka Ashwood (@ashwoodloka), a sociologist and 2024 #MacFellow investigating the environmental and economic challenges facing rural communities in America. Learn more about Loka ⬇️

Amazing work by @aimee_imlay Imlay that analyzes the relationship between farm policy and rural poverty. She reports that rural people and small to mid-sized farmers have suffered, especially since changes in 2014.

Aimee Imlay, remarkable scholar of rural poverty, and co-author of Empty Fields, Empty Promises. It is my honor to work with you.
Congratulations to my friend and mentor @AshwoodLoka. This honor is so well-deserved - your tireless and compassionate commitment to rural community justice is truly an inspiration!

@Lucas_Church Without your vision and nimbleness, Empty Fields, Empty Promises could not have happened. I hope more authors are lucky enough to work with you.
