Tyler Hallmark

This page serves to represent various resources from which scholars studying rural higher education might benefit. I do not take credit for having accumulated all of these resources -- there are many scholars whom first introduced these resources to me, and to those scholars (and the original providers of said resources), I say THANK YOU. 

 

Rural Scholar Slack

 

At present, there is a Rural Scholar Slack that I have put together in order to facilitate community among rural scholars, allowing others to share announcements and resources that relate to rural higher education. If you are interested in joining the Slack, please send your email address to me directly at tylerhallmark@live.com, and I will send you an invite.

Rural Scholar Twitter List

​

There has been a recent effort to bring rural scholars together in social networks -- most notably, Twitter. As a part of this effort, I have organized a Twitter list of rural scholars worth following. You can follow the list here. In order to become a part of the list, please message me on Twitter @Hallmark2032.
