Editorial Reviews
From the Back Cover
This collection of readings on key issues in Social Justice is written by well-known experts in the area and is edited by the leading authorities in the field. Leadership for Social Justice challenges leaders, educators, and researchers to be effective advocates for social justice, demonstrating how current realities in educational leadership training and in school practices re-create inequities. This text develops a deep understanding of the effects of exclusionary practices and presents constructive exercises and materials for those who will lead students and staff members to create equitable practices.

FEATURES:

• Utilizes the most recent thinking, practice, and research, presented by the best scholars working in educational leadership and social justice.
• 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 exercises with provocative questions that require readers to take a stand and/or to make decisions, as educational leaders, on the implications of Social Justice 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.
