In this talk, Cramer will share what she learned about rural resentment toward urban areas in fieldwork in Wisconsin. She’ll reflect on the relationship of these sentiments to those in Canada, and how the rural vs. urban divide in the United States is one manifestation of a broader split in responses to social change, which she and Larry Bartels explain in a forthcoming book. She will also reflect on the role that higher education plays in these contemporary divides.
