CSEAR Education Community of Practice

A community of practice (CoP) brings together people sharing a similar passion and willing to learn from one another in order to be better at what they do (Wenger-Trayner et al. 2023). Grounded in CSEAR’s mission, the CSEAR ECoP focuses on SEA education.

It originated from CSEAR’s Building Carbon Literacy Project.

CSEAR ECoP aims to:
- showcase innovative social and environmental accounting education;
- share insights on course content, pedagogy, and institutional work in the development of their course; &
- encourage exchanges, discussions, and engagements with the participants on the proposed topics.

"We need to be more selective and reflective in research and teaching undertakings (...). So, we must think more about our role and responsibility at the undergraduate level in promoting critical thinking about accounting (and other topics) to our students. Remember, our students will be professionals, academics, or politicians, and more important, citizens. Our students will be our legacy."

(Correa Ruiz et al. 2023, SEAJ, p.66)
