April 22, 2019 Case Studies in the Environment announces winners of 2018 prize competition Oakland, CA-The editors of University of California Press's Case Studies in the Environment (cse.ucpress.edu) are pleased to announce the winners of the 2018 Case Studies in the Environment Prize Competition, which awards a $2,000 prize for best environmental case study, as well as two $500 honorable mention prizes. Articles eligible for the competition were submitted by the September 15, 2018 deadline and underwent a rigorous peer review process prior to being accepted for publication. Once accepted, a subset of these articles were then nominated by editors from each of CSE's six content sections, with the ultimate, prize-winning articles evaluated and selected by the journal's Editor-in-Chief, Wil Burns. "As was the case in the first year of our prize competition, we were blessed this year with a large number of excellent contributions," notes Professor Burns. "Our prize winner, Heather O'Leary, demonstrated the great pedagogical value of case studies, constructing a case focused on the critical role of the informal sector in water decision making in Delhi, and its implications for citizen participation in environmental decisions more broadly. Both Sonya Ahamed et al.'s piece, focused on the food-energy-water nexus in ten contiguous counties in the Denver metro region, and R.M. Colvin et al.'s article on a proposed large- scale wind project in Tasmania, and counterintuitive lessons about citizen engagement, were also compelling case studies with great value for teaching in the classroom and for practitioners." The winning articles from the 2018 Case Studies in the Environment Prize Competition, which will remain freely accessible throughout 2019, include: 2018 First Prize article: Pluralizing Science for Inclusive Water Governance: An Engaged Ethnographic Approach to WaSH Data Collection in Delhi, India, http://cse.ucpress.edu/content/early/2018/05/08/cse.2017.000810 Heather O'Leary, Assistant Professor, Interdisciplinary Social Sciences | Anthropology, University of South Florida (USA) Professor O'Leary's article is part of a special issue on Water Science and Collaboration.
