Critical Conversations is a look at current topics and trends on both the local and national levels in an effort to begin a dialogue for change. In this week's program, Mehlaqa Samdani of Critical Connections interviews Dr. Paula Green of Hands Across the Hills about the lessons from a cultural exchange/dialogue project that brought together two rural communities with differing cultural, social, and political profiles – Leverett, Massachusetts, and Letcher County, Kentucky.
