My substantive research focuses on socio-sustainable transitions. As part of the research program Proof of Transition Concepts (proTract), we explore positive, real-world examples of sustainability transitions that bring together diverse stakeholders to cooperate toward positive, often serendipitous, outcomes. My methodological work is on expanding mixed methods research and designs, and on exploring the rigor and boundaries of case study research.
