Abstract

Disaster and climate science is increasingly incorporating interdisciplinary methods and participatory research techniques. Yet, most higher education programs have traditional lecture formats. More examples of educational efforts to meet the need of future researchers to collaborate across disciplines and with community residents in participatory research or citizen science projects are needed. This chapter describes projects developed as a community engagement research effort that draws on the voices of graduate and undergraduate students with a group of interdisciplinary scholars and local residents to understand hazard risk in socially vulnerable communities. The projects, which were codesigned and coproduced, resulted in the empowerment of learners within the university and the community. The benefits and challenges to such a curriculum are discussed.
