社区地理学是一个不断发展的子领域，为相关和参与性的学术研究提供了框架。在本文中，我们将社区地理学定义为一种研究实践形式，它涉及学术界和公共学者，其目标是共同生产和互惠互利的知识。社区地理学借鉴了实用主义的探究模型，该模型将社区视为通过问题定义和社会行动的递归过程而出现的。我们认为社区地理学项目的发展植根于两个重叠但又截然不同的传统：参与式方法论的学科发展和美国高等教育中社区参与的制度传统。然后，我们追溯这些计划的历史发展，确定共同主题，并概述随着该子领域的不断发展，社区地理学家应优先考虑的几个挑战。
Community geography is a growing subfield that provides a framework for relevant and engaged scholarship. In this paper, we define community geography as a form of research praxis, one that involves academic and public scholars with the goal of co-produced and mutually-beneficial knowledge. Community geography draws from a pragmatist model of inquiry, one that views communities as emergent through a recursive process of problem definition and social action. We situate the growth of community geography programs as rooted in two overlapping but distinct traditions: disciplinary development of participatory methodologies and institutional traditions of community engagement in American higher education. We then trace the historical development of these programs, identifying common themes and outlining several challenges that community geographers should prioritize as this subfield continues to grow.
