Drawing on a multiyear local research project on the affordable housing crisis, this article outlines a pedagogical approach we call Community-Initiated Student-Engaged Research, or CISER. The CISER model brings together three key groups of actors—undergraduate students, university researchers, and community organizations—drawing on and extending the powers of cooperative “dyads” between them. This model aims to improve pedagogical and sociological practice by constituting undergraduate students as both knowledge producers and an active public while at the same time creating meaningful partnerships between university researchers and community-based organizations. Based on assessments of the program from the vantage points of all three groups, our findings indicate that CISER is a powerful pedagogical tool and mode of community-engaged scholarship and that it offers both challenges and rewards to the involved students, faculty, and community organizations.

社区发起的学生参与研究：通过公共社会学扩大本科教学和学习

本文借鉴了一项关于经济适用房危机的多年本地研究项目，概述了一种我们称之为社区发起的学生参与研究或 CISER 的教学方法。CISER 模型汇集了三个关键的参与者群体——本科生、大学研究人员和社区组织——利用和扩展他们之间合作“二元组”的力量。该模式旨在通过将本科生构建为知识生产者和活跃的公众，同时在大学研究人员和社区组织之间建立有意义的伙伴关系来改善教学和社会学实践。基于从所有三个小组的有利位置对计划的评估，
