Educational Leadership brings together innovative perspectives on
the crucial role of theory and theorising in educational leadership
at a time when the multiple pressures of marketisation, competition
and system fragmentation dominate the educational landscape. This
original and highly thought-provoking edited collection is a
much-needed counterbalance to the anti-theoretical trends that have
underpinned recent education reforms. Contributors employ a range
of theories in original and innovate ways in order to reveal the
lived experiences of what it means to be an educational leader at a
time of rapid modernisation, where the conceptual terrain of
'modern' has been appropriated by corporate and private interests,
where notions of 'public' are not only hidden, but also derided,
and where school leaders must meet the conflicting demands of
competing accountabilities. Drawing on research projects conducted
in the UK, Educational Leadership presents convincing evidence that
the need to consider theory crosses national borders, and the
authors discuss changes to professional identities and practices
that researchers around the world will recognise. This detailed and
insightful work will appeal to academics, researchers and
postgraduate students in the fields of education and sociology, as
well as those with an interest in organisational and political
theory. The topical subject matter also makes the book of relevance
to practitioners and policy-makers in education and the public
services more generally.
