Ann examines how urban places depend on often invisible rural resource extraction. Drawing on her experiences studying land use and energy in Appalachia, Ann challenges myths about rural decline, political power, and unsustainability. She offers ideas on the stewarding of rural resources as a shared commons that benefits both rural and urban people and places.\nEpisode Highlights:\n02:10 Ann's Move to West Virginia\n03:48 Energy and Injustice\n08:44 Writing \"Reviving Rural America\"\n11:10 Myth of Rural Decline\n14:57 Myth of Rural Unsustainability\n20:13 Myth of Rural Whiteness\n23:31 Rural Political Power?\n27:14 NYC Supply Chains\n30:35 Rural as a Commons + Pros and Cons\n\nMore Information:\nhttps://www.anneisenberg.com/\nhttps://www.law.wvu.edu/people/ann-eisenberg/\nhttps://www.cambridge.org/core/books/reviving-rural-america/E4BEF197D38D1340C3792C635ADF2FE8\nhttps://www.amazon.com/Reviving-Rural-America-Policies-Resilience/dp/1108834019\nQuestions, comments, want to get in touch?  Email us at sidebyside@umn.edu. ","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/tlqGC47eNrIE2gpnsGBGmlOp6kISW7ZNG8gy-TLNnz8/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS9zaG93/LzQ3OTMzLzE3MDMx/MDQxNzMtYXJ0d29y/ay5qcGc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
