Social justice and leadership education are inextricably linked. In
order to move social justice forward, we need to develop leaders
with knowledge, skills, and values to engage effectively in the
leadership process. We need socially just leaders now more than
ever. At a time when our elected and appointed officials agree on
very little, our communities are divided and distrustful of one
another, and individual citizens struggle for fairness in the face
of discrimination, society is at a crossroad. In one direction lies
the reproduction of oppression and marginalization, continued
distrust, and further fragmentation. In the other, a route toward
healing, compassion, and fairness. How then do we prepare our
leaders of tomorrow to walk the path of justice rather than take
the road to ruin? Changing the dominant narratives in society
involves preparing skilled social critics and knowledgeable
advocates for positive and sustainable change through education.
However, when leadership education fails to consider social justice
issues, or when social justice education omits leadership learning,
both fall short of their goals. This texts links issues of social
justice, equity, and equality, to leadership knowledge, skills, and
values, with the intent of offering theoretical, practical, and
policy recommendations to improve the work of educators charged
with preparing undergraduates for the complexities of leadership in
all its forms. Collectively, the contributors inform much needed
practices and pedagogies toward socially just leadership education.
No single one of us can change the narrative alone, but together,
we can amplify the voices of those leading toward justice. The
perspectives offered here are but a sample of the work being done
to make the future a brighter place for all. We invite you to be
part of the conversation.
