“…A call to respond to concerns Fortunately, these structural circumstances facing rural education are amenable to change. Recognizing and building upon the wealth within one's rural habitus, including one's social and cultural capital, students can improve educational achievement and attainment (Chambers and Crumb, 2020;Means et al, 2016). This is not to say that a focus on cultural wealth in and of itself dismantles the real and systemic challenges in rural schools.…”

“…Acknowledging the unique funds of knowledge and ways of being in diverse rural places (Sherfinski et al, 2020) is essential toward improving the educational outcomes of rural students and informing how the resourcefulness, ingenuity, familism and unity found within rural communities can be harnessed to improve education writ large. Informed by interdisciplinary scholars who continue to expand the literature and scope of rural education research and advocacy (Azano et al, 2021;Chambers and Crumb, 2020;Crumb et al, 2020;Hott et al, 2021;Reardon and Leonard, 2018;Seelig, 2021;Williams and Grooms, 2015), we propose a conceptual framework: rural cultural wealth. Building upon an ecologically situated community cultural wealth construct (Yosso, 2005), the rural cultural wealth conceptual framework is an asset-based approach that acknowledges the strength and resilience of rural people.…”

Purpose Rural education research has historically been cast in a deficit lens, with rural places characterized by their problems or shortcomings, as if the way of understanding rural itself is to compare it to nonrural locales. These intransigent and narrow perceptions of rurality hinders recognition of the assets and possibilities of rural places. The purpose of this paper is to apply community-empowering, transgressive knowledge to analyses of rural communities to advance rural education research and practice. Design/methodology/approach In this conceptual paper, the authors propose an asset-based, conceptual framework to ground rural research and education practices: rural cultural wealth. Findings The authors describe and explore the concept of rural cultural wealth within the context of education. Furthermore, the authors discuss the dynamics of rurality and propose four constructs that comprise the rural cultural wealth framework, rural resourcefulness, rural ingenuity, rural familism and rural community unity, and consider implications for future research and practice. Originality/value The goal of this paper is to advance a rural cultural wealth framework aimed to interrupt social reproduction of educational inequities that impact rural students.

Suicide rates among Black youth have risen faster than any other racial/ethnic group in the past two decades. Black youth residing in rural areas are subject to systemic challenges such as minimal access to mental healthcare providers, generational poverty and oppressive social structures that lead to racial discrimination. Racial discrimination places rural Black youth at increased risk for anxiety, depression, and suicide. Protective factors have been found to mitigate the negative impact of racial discrimination on mental health, but there is limited research covering suicidality and Black youth. This scoping review explores what is known about the role of protective factors in moderating the association between racism/discrimination and suicide risk among Black youth in the United States. Findings were mixed regarding the influence of protective factors in moderating the effects of racial discrimination on suicide risk and more exploration among Black youth in impoverished rural areas is warranted.
