Foucault and School Leadership Research illustrates the application
of Foucauldian theory to an educational leadership research
context, thus staging the ways a researcher negotiates the
methodological tensions and contradictions in the conduct of
qualitative inquiry within education research. The book draws on an
empirical study of a multi-site school collaborative that
investigates relations of power within the unfolding network among
the various leadership hierarchies in school governance. The book
is anchored around a narrative dramatization that the author,
Denise Mifsud, crafts from her data, using the dramatic play as a
medium to present her research findings so as to show rather than
just tell readers about network leadership dynamics. Mifsud's
innovative use of dramatization to communicate her findings and
analysis serves to problematize the representation of qualitative
research, as well as to incorporate researcher interpretation and
explicate the intertwining nature of theory and methodology.
Through the use of Foucauldian theory, mainly his notions of webs
of power, discipline, governmentality, discourse, and
subjectification, the research narrative critiques and
problematizes traditional understandings of educational leadership.
The book focuses on and demonstrates the challenging enterprise of
the art of theory application in method by outlining the
epistemological, operational and analytical challenges encountered:
the application of Foucauldian concepts in education research
contexts; the adaptation of methodological and theoretical
concerns; in addition to showing how the quality of research
outcomes is shaped by social theory.
