Roots to Reason

by Sierra Franklin, Sarah Giffin, Cara Shepard, Damara Stewart, Rowan Ulrigg, and Abby Vogt

Roots to Reason was created by six University of Montana students who are a part of the Franke Global Leadership Initiative. This environmental podcast series uses research and interviews from people in the Missoula area with diverse backgrounds to demonstrate how people's beliefs, biases, and upbringing influence their interactions with the environment. Through reflecting on these conversations and oneself, the goal is for our listeners to develop an environmental self-awareness and sense of belonging in a global context. Listen closely as we get to the roots of what informs people's opinions about the environment that surrounds them.
