In Summer 2022, thirty participants braved the ongoing pandemic and travel complications to join one of our two unique field course offerings: “Climate Change and Herding” in Session 1 (June-July), and “Environment, Humans, and Mining in Northern Mongolia” in Session 2 (July-August).

Participants came from Mongolia and elsewhere in Asia, Europe, and the USA and included university undergrads, graduate students, professors, and teachers with an interest in deepening their knowledge of Mongolia through engagement with course topics. We are grateful to the many individuals—topical experts, research participants, and our fabulous drivers and ger camp hosts—who helped make this an unforgettable summer.
