This reader on key issues in Social Justice is written by well-known experts in the area and edited by the leading authorities in the field.

 

The book is divided into 3 distinct parts: Re-defining Leadership for Social Justice; Preparing Social Justice Leaders; and Next Steps, to mobilize to action as well as to make information accessible and useful. This book challenges leaders, educators and researchers to be effective advocates for social justice.  It demonstrates how the current realities in educational leadership training and in school practices re-create inequities.  It provides an array of ways of understanding the effects of exclusionary practices as well as constructive exercises and materials for those who will lead students and staffs to create equitable practices.

  • Utilizes the most recent thinking, practice, and research, presented by the best scholars working in educational leadership and social justice.
  • Addresses real life controversies that demonstrate follow-up on issues and also build readers' skills in interpretation and analysis.
  • Embeds race, gender, sexuality, poverty, and multicultural issues within the study of leadership so these issues become part and parcel of educational leadership preparation.
  • Contains recommended readings, "Guiding Questions," and end-of-chapter exercises that provide practice and skill-building opportunities. The exercises include provocative questions that require readers to take a stand and/or to speculate, as educational leaders, on the implications of dilemmas and challenges.
  • Includes balanced coverage between practical insights and strategies for impacting politics with theory, research, and methodological insights. Students get research-based yet practical information while also being guided to see the underlying assumptions of the theories and research methodologies that frame the studies.
