Atsuko Egawa

Atsuko Egawa is a researcher on the sustainable economy, focusing on femininity and masculinity.  As was taught in ancient Asian philosophy, the dynamic interaction of these two forces is the nature of life, the ecosystem, and the entire universe.  Harmonious integration of these two forces is the way towards prosperity.

Her work experience encompasses non-profit organizations (including the United Nations), investment banking, global organizations, and small companies, involving the richest countries and the poorest countries. This combination of career experiences and responsibilities as a housewife has enabled her to see the world from diverse perspectives.  

Ms. Egawa speaks at universities and seminars and organizes workshops in order to raise public awareness of the ecological crisis and to mobilize grassroots movements.

She received an M.A. in Human Security at the University of Tokyo, Japan.
