Abstract

"This book will definitely add to ongoing discussions of global responsibility and the role of leadership in these times of a global reckoning on race, anti-Black racism, and White supremacist logics." -George J. Sefa Dei, Professor of Social Justice Education and Director of Centre for Integrative Anti-Racism Studies, Ontario Institute for Studies in Education (OISE) at the University of Toronto, Canada "This powerful book has arrived at a critical time. Government policy propagates a vanilla meritocracy which is wilfully colour-blind and in denial of the struggles of Global Majority professionals at every level. Rosemary Campbell-Stephens' book launches into this territory with authenticity, clarity of analysis based on her experience, and intellectual rigour. Having first coined the term Global Majority almost twenty years ago, she argues why its usage is much deeper than mere symbolism: it represents a shift from tolerating 'a minority' to understanding that white hegemony is a post-colonial manifestation that must be challenged in the same way that the history of those who made their fortunes in the slave trade is now being deconstructed." -Colin Diamond, Professor of Educational Leadership, University of Birmingham, UK This book introduces a term for our times, 'Global Majority,' as conceptualised within the context of school leadership. It examines the processes and impact over time of racially-minoritising up to eighty-five percent of the world's population. The chapters illustrate how a decolonised cognitive reset from a minority to majority orientation moves practice from a place of subordination to one of agency and efficacy. By reconnecting the people of the Global Majority with their narratives and the social and historical linkages that they have always had, the book potentially contributes to a different globality; where interdependence is not driven by the economic greed of the minority, but the social and very human needs of the majority. Rosemary M. Campbell-Stephens is Visiting Fellow at the Institute of Education, University College London, UK, and Associate in the Centre for Educational Leadership and Decoloniality at Leeds Beckett University, UK. .

Abstract

This book provides detailed insights on the training and development for Pacific Island school leaders. It draws extensively on original empirical research that explores school leaders’ perceptions of how leadership and management training impacted their professional practices, and how these practices in turn impacted the dynamics of school operations. This book addresses a critical need to understand how to support leadership development for all Pacific schools, but especially in schools that are faced with the increasing challenges of learning and teaching conditions. In small island developing states in the Pacific region, school leaders face a myriad of challenges due to limited human and material resources, and a fragile economic base. Written by Pacific Islander authors, this book provides insights from different countries in the Pacific Islands. It shows how contextual challenges can exert enormous pressure on school leaders who are leading and managing schools without any leadership preparation. Given the importance of effective leadership practices and its impact on student learning outcomes, this book aims to be a source of reference for practitioners and educational authorities who have a vested interest in the provision of quality education in the Pacific region and beyond.

Abstract

This book analyses how growing managerialism and the marketisation of higher education has undermined educational standards and pedagogical integrity. Specifically, it provides a thorough critique of how the pandemic, and the move to online learning and MOOCs, has reinforced these developments. The book outlines the limits of new managerialism, which is replacing critical mass with a culture of compliance in higher education. Employing an ethnographic approach, the book explores the impact of the sudden shift in teaching delivery from in-person to online. For example, it examines the changing role of the PhD supervisor during the pandemic, and the impact on students’ willingness to engage and their (in)visibility in the classroom, and further considers how these impact class interactions, social relationships and learning. Ultimately, this book argues that the COVID-19 pandemic exposed the limits of marketisation of education and revealed the distorted managerial response to a crisis. Prof. Bhabani Shankar Nayak is Professor of Business Management and Programme Director of Strategic Business and Management at the University for the Creative Arts, UK. He is a political economist and the author of Political Economy of Gender and Development in Africa (2023), Creative Business Education (2022), Political Economy of Development and Business (2022), Modern Corporations and Strategies at Work (2022), China: The Bankable State (2021), all published by Palgrave Macmillan. Dr Katherine Appleford is a Senior Lecturer in Consumer Behaviour at the University for the Creative Arts, UK. Her research bridges Sociology, Cultural Studies, Human Geography and Fashion Theory. More recently her work has considered young women’s shifting attitudes around body image and beauty ideals, and the role of celebrity and social media in cultivating new body image standards.

Abstract

This book aims to fill the gap in our knowledge about crisis management in schools, its particular characteristics, and strategies from a historical point of view. It combines knowledge about educational leadership with biographical narratives of great leaders in history who have faced a tremendous crisis successfully and from whom we can learn a lot about effective coping strategies in times of crisis. The leaders in the book represent different nations and organizations, facing political, military, economic or social crises. The book provides a deeper knowledge necessary for preparing for a possible crisis and for managing it in successful ways if it comes and adds novel insights into the field of educational administration and leadership in the twenty-first century. Izhar Oplatka is Professor of Educational Administration and Leadership at The School of Education, Tel Aviv University, Israel. Oplatka’s research focuses on the lives and careers of school teachers and educational leaders, educational marketing, emotions, and the foundations of educational administration as a field of study.
