Elizabeth Currid-Halkett

Today, I am speaking with someone whose work helps capture the reality of life for rural Americans.

Elizabeth Currid-Halkett is the James Irvin Chair in Urban and Regional Planning and professor of public policy at the USC Sol Price School of Public Policy.

Her research focuses on culture, class, economic geography, and regional development.

Her most recent book is The Overlooked Americans: The Resilience of Our Rural Towns and What It Means for Our Country.

I'm Sandro Galea.

I have been talking with Elizabeth Currid-Halkett about rural America beyond the caricature.

Elizabeth, thank you for this most interesting conversation.
