We’re excited to announce our 2026-2027 Trust + Storytelling fellows! From a diversity of disciplines and backgrounds, our 15 fellows will explore the themes of climate action, migration, and violence intervention. They are united by their commitment to understanding what makes stories trustworthy and to whom, and how good stories can best serve communities’ pursuit of positive social change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

STORIES FROM A WARMING WORLD RECAP<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"\/<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

On May 13, MISI’s team of directors, students, and fellows gathered with friends and family to listen to stories at WBUR’s CitySpace. The storytellers – MISI directors and fellows – shared moments of time in their lives that profoundly impacted them, shaping who they are today and why climate change matters in the work they do. Watch them on the stage in an evening that wrapped up the inaugural fellowship year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BRINGING PEOPLE TO THE (Equi)TABLE<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

As part of the fellowship, Mark Araujo<\/a> learned about and leaned into resources at Boston University’s College of Communication. Mark and his EquiTable<\/a> co-founder, Andrea Catania, worked with Professor Sheila Sitomer’s class of students at Real World Productions<\/a> to produce a video for their non-profit organization that is “dedicated to advancing equity across the food system.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
