SUMMARY:Bad People & Good Ol’ Boys: The Criminalization of Rural Disadvantage
DESCRIPTION:Participants can attend in person or online. Registration is 
 required to attend online.\n\nIf you live in a rural area and commit a 
 crime\, your social standing plays a huge role in your ability to recover. 
 Drawing on research from Central and Eastern Washington\, this talk 
 explores how the social dynamics in rural communities play an outsized role 
 in how a person is treated after an entanglement with the 
 law.\n\nParticularly in small towns\, where word of an arrest can travel 
 fast\, judgement and stigma can undermine social relations and create 
 barriers to securing work and housing. Yet those same dynamics can also 
 give some people a pass—your local reputation can make it easier for some 
 to regain their standing in the community. Join professor Jennifer Sherman 
 as she asks questions including: Why do we define criminality in the ways 
 we do? And are there more effective ways to keep our communities safe and 
 support vulnerable people? \n\nThe presenter Jennifer Sherman (she/her) is 
 professor of sociology at Washington State University and currently serves 
 as president of the Rural Sociological Society. Her qualitative research 
 focuses on poverty and inequality\, mainly in the rural Northwest. She is 
 the author of two books\, Those Who Work\, Those Who Don’t: Poverty\, 
 Morality\, and Family in Rural America (2009)\, and Dividing Paradise: 
 Rural Inequality and the Diminishing American Dream (2021). She also 
 co-edited the 2017 volume of Rural Poverty in the United States. Sherman 
 lives in Moscow\, Idaho.\n\nPresented in partnership with the Humanities
