Hello, The following event may be of interest to you: Place, Conservation, and Development in Destination Landscapes Monday, April 15, 2013 This talk considers the complex relationship between socio-economic inequality and conservation in America’s rural destinations, by probing the gentrifying effect of urban-rural migration. It derives from qualitative research on land use planning conducted in a rural destination community in the Midwest, and from national demographic research on the process of rural gentrification. Shaun Golding is a graduate of Bowdoin College, where he majored in sociology and environmental studies. He earned his MS in rural sociology and his PhD in sociology at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. His areas of emphasis include the environment and natural resources, migration, and social inequality. He is particularly interested in community-based and internationally comparative studies of rural conservation and development. Location: Reem-Kayden Center Laszlo Z.
