Mark Dowie describes himself as “Cowhand, guitarist, investigative historian, poet” and journalist. He’s probably best known as cofounder, editor and staff writer for Mother Jones, but during his more than 50-year career, over his he’s also written for many other magazines, newspapers and publications, written eight books and received no less than 19 journalism awards.
In 1995, Dowie published Losing ground: American environmentalism at the close of the twentieth century. Thirty years later—and 70-odd years since the beginning of that movement, join host Ronnie Lipschutz for a conversation with Dowie about the U.S. environmental movement, then and now.
