Doing Community Engaged Research

Catalog description

Provides students with a community-engaged research (CEnR) experience. Students will explore the implications and applications of CEnR for the San Joaquin Valley and nearby Sierra Nevada, a region characterized by disadvantages in the environment, economics, education, health, and civic engagement, as well as analogous regions nationally and internationally. Key concepts include analytics of prosperity, sustainability, and community-engaged innovation. One or more research projects will be developed to illustrate the principles and benefits of CEnR.
