MISSOULA –

University of Montana law Professor Elizabeth Kronk is one of nine Americans selected to participate in the Environmental Justice Young Fellows Exchange program.

The fellowship program is sponsored by the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars and U.S.-China Partnership for Environmental Law at Vermont Law School. It provides leadership training opportunities to 18 Chinese and American women and men who are active in environmental justice efforts.

As part of the program, Kronk will partner with one of nine Chinese participants to study environmental justice and climate change. She will participate in a six-week cultural and educational exchange this summer, spending three weeks in Washington, D.C., and three weeks in Beijing, Yichang and Guangzhou, China.

During the program, Kronk will participate in a series of roundtables, study tours and a one-week internship at an environmental justice organization in each country.
