Dr. Ivan Emke says it’s time to take care of the rural soul of Canada. Ivan is a rural scholar at Memorial University of Newfoundland based at the university’s Corner Brook campus on the west coast of the island of Newfoundland. We talked about agriculture, rural stereotypes, the unsustainable nature of urban environments and the fact that neither of us could tell how long a group of academics could survive on their own.

Enjoy the show.

    A very stimulating and informative discussion, nicely paced and refreshingly conducted in the vernacular, rather than our arcane academic code.

    The presentation also avoided dogmatic positions and allowed for an openness of perspectives and plenty of room around the many topics covered, from rural and urban, food systems, agribusiness, popular and media labeling of the “rural” and the “urban”, and many other matters.

    Well done!

    David.

  43. Hmm it looks like your blog ate my first comment (it was super long)
    so I guess I’ll just sum it up what I submitted and say, I’m thoroughly enjoying your blog.

    I too am an aspiring blog blogger but I’m still new to everything.

    Do you have any tips for rookie blog writers? I’d really appreciate it.

  44. With havin so much content do you ever run into any issues of plagorism or copyright infringement? My site has a lot of unique content I’ve either authored myself or outsourced but it looks like a lot of it is popping it up all over the internet without my permission. Do you know any solutions to help stop content from being ripped off? I’d really appreciate it.
