Write a reflection about your experiences and/or relationship with rural or remote
environments. How are you defining rural or remote? Describe what you experienced
and what these experiences meant for you. How will these experiences impact your
approach to rural and/or remote social work practice? If you have no ties to rural or
remote areas, you may interview someone who lives (or has lived a large portion of their
life) in a rural/remote setting to complete this assignment. Your paper should consider
the course material (information in the modules, additional websites, required readings)
and how this material relates to experiences and ideas that you raise in your paper. It is
expected that you will have a minimum of 5 academic references for this paper.
