~10 PhD students across multiple institutions are working together with faculty (also from multiple institutions) to advance ethnographic practice can contribute to understanding myriad perspectives on environmental and climatological urgency. Conducting research during the program, students will share perspectives on their individual projects in Africa, Latin America, Asia or Europe. Non-academic partners also contribute to the interdisciplinary and community-engaged training.

The author states that this work is based off of a few things, including multiple years of field work in Ukraine throughout 1990 to 2000.
Based upon her observations within research and medical facilities within Ukraine during these visits she defined patterns of issues affecting the population.
Using her knowledge and past experience as well she established these patterns and their effects in order to understand the situation in Ukraine.
She also interviewed russian scientists to understand their perspective on the issues as well.
