We are interested in your submissions! Blog entries on a wide range of topics are encouraged. We seek to highlight both scholarship and activism related to rural women, genders and sexualities. We are open to conference abstracts; a sneak-peek at an upcoming publication; a short thought piece; a book, film, or exhibit review; and more. If you have any questions about a possible topic or format, please contact us at
