I’m excited to announce an innovative new resource that I am involved in for students, faculty, educators, professionals, and policymakers for deep exploration of environmental issues for theory, teaching and practice: Case Studies in the Environment (cse.ucpress.edu).
Published by University of California Press, Case Studies in the Environment is a journal of peer-reviewed case study articles with slides and teaching notes, articles on case study pedagogy, and a preprint server for editor-reviewed case study slides. Case Studies in the Environment is organized around a comprehensive collection of cases within six domains, with the first three domains—Climate Change Mitigation and Adaptation, Ecology and Biodiversity Conservation, and Environmental Law, Policy and Management—coming in mid-2017. The remaining three domains—Sustainability, Energy and the Environment, and Water Science and Technology—will launch in 2018-20.
I think many of you would find this resource valuable for your courses, but I also believe that with your experience and approaches to tropical ecology and conservation, you would be great contributors of case studies that we could all use in our classes. I hope you will consider submitting your case study.
Do have a look at the journal website for more information— note that there are several categories in addition to the article option, such as the ‘slides deck’. For more information on submitting a case, please see https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__cse.ucpress.edu_author-2Dinformation_&d=CwIFaQ&c=imBPVzF25OnBgGmVOlcsiEgHoG1i6YHLR0Sj_gZ4adc&r=wjj_az5MSCAk-Ev51G0iVg&m=o2lXlXN_IlWz1Xjwymf8jKXtguIY1ez_ANeTfVuykHA&s=YsEZNqTfllb0WJs4WK4CtuUUOaiDsXWklGF0uaW0VyE&e=); Also, sign up for periodic email alerts about Case Studies in the Environment at https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__cse.ucpress.edu_contact_&d=CwIFaQ&c=imBPVzF25OnBgGmVOlcsiEgHoG1i6YHLR0Sj_gZ4adc&r=wjj_az5MSCAk-Ev51G0iVg&m=o2lXlXN_IlWz1Xjwymf8jKXtguIY1ez_ANeTfVuykHA&s=cepp0cDEO3Jiel13y835noMk_0DwOUJEQJptyDkXm1k&e=.
