Lisa Newton retired after 42 years in the Philosophy Department at Fairfield University, Fairfield, CT, where she founded and directed the Program in Applied Ethics from 1982 until retirement, and the Program in Environmental Studies from 1985 to 2005. During this time she published 14 books, mostly on Business Ethics and Environmental Protection, numerous Encyclopedia entries (many on agriculture), and upwards of seventy articles in peer-reviewed journals. Now settled in Vermont, she continues to write and consult (and occasionally teach) in the fields of social and political ethics, bioethics, business ethics, and environmental ethics.
