The intended audiences for the Rural Futures Lab website and publications are also our collaborators, and the inspiration for the work we do:

• Rural people
• Community leaders
• Practitioners
• Policymakers, and
• Researchers

This website is a place for sharing – from our free publications to the guest series on our blog to our Facebook page. We hope that our papers and blog entries spark ideas and questions for your own work. Please comment and join the conversation!

Getting Involved

The Lab is always looking to build our network of collaborators. We are especially looking for:

• Organizational partners with expertise in our major focus areas
• Research and policy paper contributors, especially in ecosystem services, natural resources, rural equity issues, rural education, and broadband
• On-the-ground examples of workable solutions for rural communities for case studies and profiles
• Contributors to our bi-monthly guest blog
