Community-engaged learning (CEL) is inherently more complex and time-intensive than traditional teaching. However, this complexity offers a powerful opportunity to generate meaningful scholarship. In this session, we will explore how to leverage that effort by integrating community-engaged research (CER) directly into your courses. We will move beyond a checklist approach to structure research that benefits your students—transforming them from collaborative inquirers into co-creators of knowledge—while simultaneously yielding data, publications, and professional outputs for your own research portfolio. We will also cover scaffolding inquiry, managing IRB requirements in partnership contexts, and ensuring your research design is ethically sound, mutually beneficial, and strategically aligned with your long-term scholarly goals. Co-Presenter: Lauren Martin, Assistant Vice Provost for Community-Engaged Research, University of Minnesota, Office of Public Engagement and School of Nursing.
