International Rural Sociology Association - IRSA
The objectives of the Association are to: foster the development of rural sociology;
further the application of sociological inquiry to the improvement of the quality of
rural life; and provide a mechanism whereby rural sociologists can generate dialogue
and useful exchange.
Rural sociologists in media
In order to expose how rural sociologists have made a social impact we are
going to post news on the IRSA website, showing how colleagues have been
active in the media recently. It can be interviews, chronicles or newspaper
articles in which rural sociologists are referred to in a substantial way.
Please nominate media news from yourself or your colleagues to: reidar.almas@bygdeforskning.no
