Neva Goodwin Rockefeller (born June 1, 1944) is an American businesswoman. She's served as co-director of the Global Development And Environment Institute (GDAE) at Tufts University since 1993, where she is a research associate at the Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy[1] and director of the Social Science Library: Frontier Thinking in Sustainable Development and Human Well-Being.[2]
Goodwin works towards a contextual economics theory that will have more relevance to contemporary real-world social and ecological concerns than does the dominant economic paradigm.[3] To this end, Goodwin is the lead author of two introductory university-level economics textbooks as well as online teaching modules,[4] along with editing two six-part series among other publications (see below).
Goodwin is also involved with efforts to motivate business to recognize social and ecological health as significant, long-term corporate goals. She is involved in socially responsible investing[5] and served in leadership roles at organizations such as, most recently, the New Economy Coalition,[6] Winrock International Institute for Agricultural Development, Ceres, and the Sustainable Endowments Institute.[7][8]
