Abstract

The concept of sustainability has been penetrating the education sector for some time. In addition to degrees in sustainability, numerous majors, and indeed whole institutions have been imbuing their curricula with a sustainability perspective. Computing Education for Sustainability (CE4S) is one such framework designed for computing curricula. There are a number of interesting questions from the viewpoint of computing education: What does it mean to be a sustainable computing practitioner? What does it mean to be a sustainable (tertiary) faculty member? This paper offers a perspective on the overlap of these two questions: what does it mean to be a sustainable (tertiary) computing faculty member/educator?
