On Thursday, March 24 I had the pleasure to present my latest research on the impact of remote work on US rural regions and secondary cities at the Communicative Cities Research Network Symposium 2022, organized by the European Communication Research and Education Association, and the Urban Communication Foundation. The event was hosted by the Department of Media and Communications, London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE).
