This book explores what academic leadership in higher education
might mean in the cosmopolitan and increasingly globalised 21st
century through individual academics' narrative accounts drawn from
a range of international contexts. The book shows that academic
leadership is key to an individual's development and that it could
mean different things in different settings as academics operate
across the levels of professional practice, institutional
organisation, sector-wide systems and international networks. This
book argues for the importance of cosmopolitan perspectives on
academic leadership which are developed from the particularities of
local and everyday situated experience. Part I of the book explores
key theoretical perspectives; Part II provides first-hand accounts
from the contributors of their own development as academic leaders;
and Part III discusses some of the implications for those with
responsibility for academic development and for all those concerned
with developing the qualities necessary for leadership practices.
