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.
Calling others in to lead for social justice has never been more
important. In a world plagued by multiple and overlapping pandemics
and other crises, the cost of leadership failures is constantly
rising. Leadership education is responding to these challenges by
centering cultural relevance, critical pedagogies, and important
issues of identity, capacity, and efficacy in the preparation of
emerging learners. Meeting the global demand for social justice
requires thoughtful, innovative, and engaged praxes by all
leadership educators. Alongside a cadre of diverse authors, we
intend to shift the mindset of leadership education toward
forward-thinking and holistic solutions, empowering our students to
build a fairer and more equitable world for themselves and others.
Shifting the Mindset: Socially Just Leadership Education widens and
deepens the discourse begun in Changing the Narrative: Socially
Just Leadership Education. Our contributors' ideas occur into two
parts: the first examines student social identities otherwise
underrepresented in existing leadership education literature. The
second portion illuminates key factors of leadership learning
contexts frequently under- or unattended in both leadership
education and social justice education. Every chapter includes
critical considerations and practical guidance for educators
striving to meet the leadership demands of an increasingly unjust
world. Taken together, these thinking, planning, and acting tools
augment the potential of educators who are preparing leaders under
uncertain conditions. We envision this book as an essential element
of the leadership learning toolkit of socially just leadership
educators at all levels, between contexts, and across varying
amounts of education, influence, and experience. You are needed now
more than ever before. We, once again, invite you to our ongoing
fight for fairness, freedom, and a brighter future for all.
