Full Description
Re-imagining Feminist Leadership Praxis in Higher Education takes an approach that is grounded in feminist principles and practices.
This book highlights inclusivity, equity, empathy, collaboration and actively confronts and dismantles entrenched hierarchical power structures that reinforce gender inequality and other oppressions. Its carefully curated chapters explore the progressive theories, principles, and politics guiding leadership within higher education. Direct voices of feminist leaders emerge through critical, self-reflective engagement with their equity-driven leadership practices, while scholars of feminist leadership contribute by employing the framework of transformative leadership praxis to interpret and explain their empirical research.
A must-read for anyone interested in how feminists do leadership, rather than how many women do leadership, this key title breaks new ground in the field of women, gender and feminism in educational leadership and amplifies examples of professional activism that will embolden feminist leadership within higher education.
