New INET Governing Board Member Announcement
Neva Goodwin, the former Co-Director of the Global Development and Environment Institute at Tufts University, has been appointed as a new member of the INET Governing Board. Her extensive background in ecological economics and in bringing real-world concerns to economic thinking will be an invaluable asset for INET’s ongoing work in challenging conventional economic wisdom.
Neva has edited more than a dozen books, including the six-volume project, Frontier Issues in Economic Thought, and a Michigan Press series, Evolving Values for a Capitalist World. She is the lead author of four introductory textbooks published by Routledge: Microeconomics in Context, Macroeconomics in Context, Principles of Economics in Context, and Essentials of Economics in Context.
Throughout her career, she has been involved with a variety of efforts to motivate businesses to recognize social and ecological health as significant, long-term corporate goals. Most recently, this has led her to help found the Ecological Health Network (www.EcoHealthGlobal.org), an organization dedicated to increasing the amount and effectiveness of ecological restoration activities worldwide.
