Call for Papers – Rural Sustainability in the Urban Century

Whose versions of sustainability count in the urban century? How does spatial disadvantage intersect with injustices based on gender, ethnic, linguistic, religious and other dimensions of social difference? What opportunities do flows of people, capital, information and commodities between urban and rural spaces present for sustainable rural development?
The XV World Congress of Rural Sociology is currently seeking call for papers. The conference will take place from 8-12 July 2020 in Cairns, Australia. Abstracts are welcome on any topic of relevance to rural sociologists although proposals that address the theme of rural sustainability in the urban century are encouraged. Abstracts must be submitted to one of following sub-themes: rural identities, rural transitions, agrifood transitions, environments, policy and governance, and Innovations in rural research.
