Who We Are

Ruralosophy, LLC is an Alabama-based consultancy aimed at improving research, practice, and policy that centers rural students and communities. 

Our Motto

An educational crossroads at the railroads

We collaborate with K-12 and higher education institutions, non-profit and community-based organizations, local businesses and major corporations, and policy institutes and think tanks to support small- and large- scale efforts that promote postsecondary education for rural students across the United States. We believe that rigorous, place-based, and community-minded work elevates the cause and call for increased postsecondary education and opportunity for rural students. 

Mission

We seek to innovate the educational landscape of rural-centered research, practice, and policy by continually theorizing conceptions of place.
