Publications and Outputs
CISER is an approach developed at UC Santa Cruz that brings together students, researchers, and community partners to collaboratively generate new knowledge, which we then share with key policy makers, community organizations and community members to spark dialog and improve community well-being.
CISER aims not only to create new knowledge, but to make sure it is compelling, accessible, actionable, and fosters public discussion. CISER develops a range of data including: large-scale surveys, ethnographic interviews, focus-groups, digital story-telling and community mapping. We also create varied modes of dissemination, such as bi-lingual neighborhood workshops, large public fora, bi-lingual websites and on-line media, policy papers, and academic publications. These research results and their public dissemination help inform local public debates about key social issues, how they are experienced, and how best to address them.
