Committing to a Community: Chris Hyslop's Reflections

In this episode, we interview Chris Hyslop, the Executive Director of the Montana World Affairs Council. We discuss how Hyslop’s experiences as a longtime expatriate and member of the international community inform his view of how Missoula’s community here in the United States differs from those in countries around the world. He talks about the growing partisan divide facing both Montana and the broader United States, as well as how Missoula has changed and will always be changing over time. In addition, Hyslop shares how he has found interest groups in areas from music to ice hockey in this city we call home.
