Casey Allen, Associate Professor of Geography and Environmental Science, recently published two articles. The Journal of Archaeological Science: Reports (JASR) article (written with several colleagues) offers further validity to RASI—a tool Allen helped pioneer and have been using for almost a decade. Aligned with this, one of Allen’s undergraduate students, Cayla Kennedy, is using RASI on Grenada researching her honors thesis (partially funded by UROP). The Journal of Geography in Higher Education article showcases the CU Denver Geography by Rail program (which Allen ran with Jon Barbour) making a case for why regional geography taught through a field-based lens is so important.
