Monday, April 21, 2025 — 1:00 pm Eastern Time (US & Canada)
This Webinar is Presented by the Community Development Society (CDS) in partnership with Community and Well-Being Learning Collaborative at Purdue University John Martinson Honors College, Purdue University’s Center for Rural Research, Education and Outreach (PCRREO), the North Central Regional Center for Rural Development (NCRCRD), and the International Society for Quality-of-Life Studies (ISQOLS).
The theme of this webinar is community well-being and quality of life, specifically for rural Indiana. After introductions, there will be three presentations, followed by some time for audience questions and dialogue. First, Hossein Mousazadeh, Ph.D. will speak about community quality of life, newcomers, and rural health. Second, Zuzana Bednarik, Ph.D. and Michael Wilcox, Ph.D. will discuss NCRCRD’s 2024 dataset on rural-urban Indiana quality of life, and compare select findings to their 2022 dataset. Third, Esmeralda Cruz, M.S. will talk about immigration in Indiana and the policy implications with community well-being and quality of life. Through these conversations on both academic and applied work, attendees will depart the webinar with a deeper understanding of both the context and lived experiences of community members, their well-being, and quality of life living in Indiana.
