Samuel Mann Birth Story
Sustainable Practitioner
Mann developed the term "sustainable practitioner". In 2007 under Mann's guidance, Otago Polytechnic committed to the strategy that "every graduate may think and act as a sustainable practitioner". Initiatives have included a Living Campus, and Sustainable Community Enterprise.
Mann is building an oral archive of conversations with sustainable practitioners. This is also broadcast on Otago Access Radio and podcast as Sustainable Lens. The goal is to create a searchable archive of conversations with people from many different fields who are applying their skills to a sustainable future.
CITRENZ
Since 2011 Mann has served as Chair of Computing and Information Technology Information and Education and Research NZ (CITRENZ). In that role he oversaw the development of a new suite of computing programmes for all New Zealand polytechnics.
Awards
In 2009 Mann was awarded the Beeby Fellowship. The Beeby Fellowship is a joint initiative between the New Zealand Council for Educational Research and the New Zealand National Commission for UNESCO.
