Welcome

Students from the University of Montana’s School of Journalism are traveling to Bangladesh in May 2024 to learn how climate change is affecting the world’s largest delta. We want to see what the people who have lived in this remarkable and dynamic landscape for thousands of years have to teach the rest of the world about living with change. We’ll be looking for examples of resilience and adaptation, but also to understand the losses and damages people in Bangladesh are experiencing as the global climate shifts. Bangladesh has been a leader in the movement to create a way for rich carbon polluter nations to help poorer nations that are more immediately impacted by climate change. Montana Journalism Abroad introduces Journalism students to the challenges of reporting on complex issues in other countries and creates opportunities for students to learn how to travel abroad safely and with confidence.

Here, we'll be publishing stories in a variety of formats, from first-person perspective travelogues to issue briefs and reported reflections. Follow along for more.
