Jun 21, 2004 · This paper presents the familiar contrast between case study and non-case study work as a series of characteristic strengths and weaknesses— affinities —rather than as antagonistic approaches to the empirical world.

The combination of federal, state and local policy biases favoring white residents, alongside racial animus and fear, coupled with job losses in a declining manufacturing industry, resulted in a toxic economic environment across the Motor City.
Sep 2, 2020 · The chapter emphasizes how important it is to design the case, to collect and interpret data in ways that highlight the qualitative, to have an ethical practice that values multiple perspectives and political interests, and to report creatively to facilitate use in policymaking and practice.

The Office of the Provost launched the Transforming Learning for a Third Century (TLTC) Initiative in 2012 with an ambitious agenda to define and cultivate a culture of engaged learning at the University of Michigan. The TLTC initiative funded innovative projects aimed at improving teaching and learning, with the following desired learning outcomes...
The Michigan Sustainability Casesinitiative launched in February 2016 as an effort to improve the classroom experience for both students and faculty through the use of case-based teaching. Case studies have long been used in fields such as business, law, and medicine to equip students with the skills, knowledge, and habits of mind they will need as...
MSC began by producing and piloting case studies in classrooms around the University of Michigan campus. One early adopter, Professor Jeremiah Johnson at the School of Natural Resources and Environment, developed two of MSC’s first case studies with students from his class. The narrative describes the learning and assessment that took place with th...
The Michigan Sustainability Cases initiative grew partly from faculty experience in teaching and learning with case studies. That experience led to the insight that cases need not be confined to the classroom, and in 2013, a case study was used for the first time at new student orientation at the formerly named School of Natural Resources and Envir...
As MSC matured, the potential for cases to foster engagement and problem solving outside of university spaces became more obvious--and more important, with President Mark Schlissel’s call in late 2017 for increased faculty public engagement. However, to MSC’s knowledge, case studies had not previously been used in this way, so MSC began to experime...
The strength of case studies for cultivating engaged learning lies in their ability to actively engage readers through storytelling, as we have demonstrated with the three mini-case studies above. The TLTC initiative has largely been successful in embedding engaged learning across the University of Michigan (Hallman et al., 2018), and MSC makes up ...
A good case study not only reads well but also functions as an effective teaching tool, one that works best when instructors and students alike are well prepared to engage with it. However, in disciplines such as environment and sustainability, case-based teaching has historically been uncommon; hence few instructors or students have had experience...
Case-based teaching has long been an effective pedagogical practice in disciplines such as law, medicine, and business. MSC demonstrates how this practice can be adapted to effectively teach sustainability science education. Although MSC began by building a case library, along the way it became something more like a toolbox, and also a community fo...
MSC is grateful to our many supporters and collaborators at the University of Michigan and, indeed, around the world. The authors would like to offer special thanks to the following people: To Jeremiah Johnson for agreeing to be the protagonist in mini-case #1, for reviewing a draft of the manuscript, for sharing data, and for generally being a won...
