From 1995-2020 Dr. Neva Goodwin was Co-director of the Global Development And Environment Institute at Tufts University, where she worked to systematize and institutionalize an economic theory \u2013 \u201ceconomics in context\u201d \u2013 that will have more relevance to real world concerns than does the dominant economic paradigm.\u00a0 She has edited more than a dozen books, including the six-volume project,\u00a0Frontier Issues in Economic Thought<\/span><\/em>, and a Michigan Press series,\u00a0Evolving Values for a Capitalist World<\/span><\/em>. \u00a0She is the lead author of four introductory textbooks published by Routledge:\u00a0Microeconomics in Context<\/span><\/em><\/a>,\u00a0Macroeconomics in Context<\/span><\/em><\/a>,\u00a0Principles of Economics in Context<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0<\/span><\/em>Essentials of Economics in Context<\/span><\/em>. Translations of the Micro texts have included Russian, Vietnamese and Italian, and there is a European edition of the Macro text. At Tufts Goodwin led the development of an electronic \u201csocial science library\u201d called \u201cFrontier Thinking in Sustainable Development and Human Well-Being<\/span><\/em>,\u201d which contains a bibliography of nearly 10,000 titles in seven social sciences. A version on CD-ROM and USB drives which included the full text of about a third of the titles, as well as the full bibliography, was sent to large numbers of university libraries in over 100 developing countries.<\/p>\n

Dr. Goodwin has been involved with a variety of efforts to motivate businesses to recognize social and ecological health as significant, long-term corporate goals. She has served on numerous boards, including Ceres and Winrock International Institute For Agricultural Development,\u00a0and was co-chair of the board of the New Economics Institute.\u00a0 In these roles, and in other activities outside of her academic work, Goodwin seeks a deeper theoretic understanding from exposure to on-the-ground experiments in alternative socio-economic institutional design. In recent years, pursuing her environmental interests, she has helped to found the EcoHealth Network (www.EcoHealthGlobal.org<\/a>), an organization dedicated to increasing the amount and effectiveness of ecological restoration activities worldwide.<\/p>\n
