RUX Co-Founder Savannah Barrett featured on "Side by Side" podcast
Have you heard?
KY RUX Co-Founder & Art of the Rural Exchange Director Savannah Barrett is featured on the Side by Side podcast from University of Minnesota Extension!
In this episode, hosted by UMN Extension Educator Ellen Wolter, Savannah reflects on RUX's origin and growth over the past decade as well as what she's learned along the way about the value and challenges of building place-based relationships.
“People have to come together and reckon with one another over what is gained and lost in different versions of a shared future,” shares Savannah in the episode. “Through that process, they have to build the kinds of relationships that can hold water, that can hold complexity, that can be challenged and come through stronger.”
Hosted by Wolter, Side by Side explores the interdependent relationship between rural and urban spaces and why this complex and necessary relationship matters. Want to learn more? Sign up for our newsletter here.
