VII Rural Studies Meeting at UFRN

The VII Meeting of the Rural Studies Network with the central theme “Conflicting perspectives on the rural world: territorialities, knowledge and development actions”, takes place from August 29th to September 1st, starting at 2pm at the UFRN central campus in Natal and is being organized by the Rural Studies Laboratory (DPP/DCS).
The choice of this theme is based on the need to deepen understanding and analysis around the distinct and divergent conceptions of the rural world that have been constructed and expressed by different social actors. Furthermore, it aims to bring together researchers, scholars from different disciplinary backgrounds and those interested in various themes related to the rural world.
Registration to participate in the event is open until August 15th and will only be done via the link: http://www.redesrurais.org.br/7encontrorede/7inscricoes/
