Organization Overview:
The Environmental Working Group (EWG) is a not-for-profit environmental research organization that uses the power of information to improve public health and protect the environment by reducing pollution in air, water and food.
Based in Washington, D.C., and with an office in Oakland, California, EWG conducts groundbreaking, computer-assisted research on a variety of environmental issues. Recent
EWG research topics have included pesticides in foods, air, and water; the cutback in energy
conservation programs by California utilities; and toxic substances in beauty products.
The goal of EWG’s research is to turn raw data into usable information. Our researchers
unearth large databases from state and federal government agencies and other sources. Then,
using their considerable computer hardware, software, and database management
expertise, EWG analysts sift through the databases to discover the relevant information
and newsworthy stories that are buried within the mountains of data.
EWG supplements its database research and analysis with carefully targeted monitoring of
chemical contaminants in food, air and water.
EWG reports and publications have been the subject of literally thousands of news
accounts, and have been covered by virtually every major media outlet in the country,
including The New York Times, The Washington Post, The Los Angeles Times, and
major network news shows.

Date: August 12-18, 2013.
Description:
Dire ecological news and the failures of the global economy are fuelling interest in a “new economics” grounded in principles of ecological sustainability, the democratization of wealth, community empowerment and social and digital connection.

We will bring together a group of distinguished faculty who are pursuing research and practice in this emerging field. Faculty include Juliet Schor (Boston College), Gar Alperovitz (University of Maryland), Joel Rogers (University of Wisconsin), Michel Bauwens (P2P Foundation and University of Amsterdam), and Gill Seyfang (University of East Anglia). Practitioners working on new economy projects will join us for workshops. Together with a dynamic group of students, we will meet for an intensive program of classes, workshops, and participatory sessions. Grdauate students attending the Institute can expect to leave with a solid grounding in the latest research and theory, and as part of a network of faculty and other graduate students.
This year’s institute will be held at the Johnson Foundation’s Wingspread Retreat Center, a historic Frank Lloyd Wright designed home at Wind Point, Wisconsin. Wingspread is an exceptional facility at the shores of Lake Michigan that fosters productive conversations, creativity, and community. It is located on 32 acres of land and is ideal for hiking, biking, and swimming. Wingspread offers superb dining and accommodations.
