Case’s Research Endeavors...

“If people never did silly things, nothing intelligent would ever get done”

- Wittgenstein -

Academia often forces people to choose a very narrow specialty within an even smaller sub-field, all while touting the need for broad applicability. I eschew this restrictive practice – as I argue in this Op-Ed, Chapter Two of my book, & elsewhere – choosing instead to focus on bridging perceived divides between physical sciences, social sciences, and humanities. In fact, my books and peer-reviewed research span the discipline’s gamut, as this list of publications demonstrates. I’ve also been an invited reviewer for numerous books, articles, and grant proposals, served in multiple advisory capacities, presented my research or been an invited speaker over 60 times at different professional events, authored over five-dozen peer-reviewed articles and book chapters, and penned more than two-dozen commentary and (invited) commission pieces. Alongside these accomplishments, I am also Associate Director of the multi/trans/interdisciplinary Stone Heritage Research Alliance and Editor for The Geographical Bulletin.
