MacArthur Genius Award winner Loka Ashwood(MacArthur Fellows Program/MacArthur Fellows Program)

What is it like to learn you won the MacArthur Genius Award? Our first of many questions for Loka Ashwood, a sociologist at the University of Kentucky who concentrates on rural identity, environmental injustice, and corporate power. We hear about an effort to help rural communities change how they impact the environment and of a non-profit’s work to build a strong food economy in Kentucky. Plus, what’s a semi quincentennial? Lexington’s about to have one and there will be a lot of art happening around town.
