Over the last quarter century, educational leadership as a field
has developed a broad strand of research that engages issues of
social justice, equity and diversity. This effort includes the work
of many scholars who advocate for a variety of equity-oriented
leadership preparation approaches. Critical scholarship in
Education Administration and Educational Politics is concerned with
questions of power and in various ways asks questions around who
gets to decide. In this volume, we ask who decides how to organize
schools around criteria of ability and/or disability and what these
decisions imply for leadership in schools. In line with this
broader critical tradition of inquiry, this volume seeks to
interrogate policies, research and personnel preparation practices
which constitute interactions, discourses, and institutions that
construct and enact ability and disability within the disciplinary
field of education leadership. To do so, we present contributions
from multidisciplinary perspectives. The volume is organized around
four themes: 1. Leadership and Dis/Ability: Ontology, Epistemology,
and Intersectionalities; 2. Educational Leaders and Dis/ability:
Policies in Practice; 3. Experience and Power in Schools; 4.
Advocacy, Leverage, and the Preparation of School Leaders.
Intertwined within each theme are chapters, which explore
theoretical and conceptual themes along with chapters that focus on
empirical data and narratives that bring personal experiences to
the discussion of disabilities and to the multiple ways in which
disability shapes experiences in schools. Taken as a whole, the
volume covers new territory in the study of educational leadership
and dis/abilities at home, school, and work.

Percival Phillips was born in 1877. He began writing for newspapers
at the age of sixteen with articles about coal miners rioting in
Southwestern Pennsylvania. At the age of nineteen he began pursuing
a dream of being a war correspondent with coverage of the
Greco-Turkish war and later the war in Cuba. He next moved to
London, England and worked for the Daily Express covering wars in
Japan and Russia, Tripoli and the Balkans. Although an American the
British government selected him to be one of five correspondents to
cover the British portion of the Western Front during the World War
I, as well as to cover the troubles in Ireland. After the war he
was knighted by King George for these services. He next moved to
the Daily Mail where he continued covering conflicts in Russia,
China, and India, as well as problems in Iraq, the rise of
Mussolini in Italy and Gandhi's activities in India. In 1935 he
joined the Daily Telegraph and later covered a revolution in Greece
and the Italian invasion of Ethiopia. His final war was the Spanish
Civil War during which he died in 1937.

Transportation research has traditionally been dominated by
engineering and logistics research approaches. This book integrates
social, economic, and behavioral sciences into the transportation
field. As its title indicates, emphasis is on socioeconomic
changes, which increasingly govern the development of the
transportation sector.
The papers presented here originated at a conference on Social
Change and Sustainable Transport held at the University of
California at Berkeley in March 1999, under the auspices of the
European Science Foundation and the National Science
Foundation.
The contributors, who represent a range of disciplines, including
geography and regional science, economics, political science,
sociology, and psychology, come from twelve different countries.
Their subjects cover the consequences of environmentally
sustainable transportation vs. the "business-as-usual" status quo,
the new phenomenon of "edge cities," automobile dependence as a
social problem, the influence of leisure or discretionary travel
and of company cars, the problems of freight transport, the future
of railroads in Europe, the imposition of electronic road tolls,
potential transport benefits of e-commerce, and the electric
car.
This is the first volume in the re-imagined series Research and
Theory in Educational Administration. The volume includes a variety
of perspectives written by university professors in the field of
educational administration, which moves our thinking beyond the
traditional scope of organizational theory and institutional
analysis. It is this combination of theory, of new directions in
leadership preparation and new narratives of participation that we
hope will contribute to a more engaging volume for its
readers-graduate students, researchers, and practitioners. The
volume will provide evidence of and explanation for changing
patterns of institution production explored through academic and
epistemic drift. It also provides a deeper understanding of how
state regulation is related to the school administrator pipeline or
pathways. The concepts explained and illustrated in the volume
hopes to provide a better framework for understanding how
administrator preparation is unfolding across the U.S. and
internationally, as well as the direction of the field of
educational administration in the future.
