Cultivating a scholarly community of practice. Acta Academica: Postgraduate supervision: research and practice: Supplementum 1, 130-150.0587-2405 (print)2415-0479 (online)http://hdl.handle.net/11660/2702English: In the field of Environment and Sustainability Education we are seeking ways of developing our teaching and supervision practices to enable social changes in a rapidly transforming field of practice where global issues of truth, judgement, justice and sustainability define our engagements with the public good. This article explores the process of cultivating a scholarly community of practice as a model of supervision that not only engages scholars in an intellectual community oriented towards socio-ecological transformation, but also extends and enhances dialogue with individuals on the technical and theoretical aspects of their postgraduate studies.Afrikaans: Ons poog om op die gebied van Omgewings- en Volhoubaarheidsonderwys maniere te vind om onderrig- en leerpraktyke te ontwikkel wat maatskaplike veranderinge op ’n vinnig-veranderende terrein moontlik maak waar globale kwessies rakende waarheid, oordeel, geregtigheid en volhoubaarheid ons betrokkenheid by openbare belang definieer. Hierdie artikel ondersoek die kweekproses van ’n wetenskapspraktykgemeenskap om as ’n model vir studieleiding te dien waardeur akademici betrokke sal kan raak by ’n intellektuele gemeenskap gerig op sosio-ekologiese transformasie en waardeur dialoog met individue uitgebou en verbeter kan word ter bevordering van die tegniese en teoretiese aspekte van hul nagraadse studie.enEnvironment and sustainability educationPostgraduate supervisionSocial changesScholarly community of practiceArticleUniversity of the Free State
