Global Sustainability and Communities of Practice cover

Collaboration between experts and the public is vital for effective community engagement aimed at improving the lives of the most vulnerable in society, whether at the local or global level. Using case-based and theoretical chapters that examine rural and urban communities of practice, this volume illustrates how participatory researchers and students, as well as policy and community leaders, find ways to engage with the broader public when it comes to global sustainability research and practice.

“An interesting and consistently well-written book. Academics and researchers working on sustainability issues from the fields of anthropology, sociology, and other social sciences will find this book a worthwhile read, particularly for research grounded in the case study approach.”• Choice

“…a valuable contribution to discussions of local-level sustainability, and will be a useful reference for applied anthropologists and other practitioners.”• JRAI (Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute)
