Jonathan Mingle

In an interview with Seven Days’ Margot Harrison last winter, environmental author Jonathan Mingle said he hoped to raise awareness of black carbon emission caused by burning solid fuels such as wood and coal. Mingle brings his message to Norwich University as part of the school’s Writers Series with a reading from his 2015 book, Fire and Ice: Soot, Solidarity and Survival on the Roof of the World, in which he uses the Himalayan village of Kumik as a case study in climate change. The former Middlebury Fellow in Environmental Journalism shares his expertise during a Q&A about environmental writing and climate issues.
