Educational Leadership for Transformation and Social Justice - John (Ball State University Ambrosio - Bog

There is a burgeoning crisis in schools and institutions of higher education in South Africa which calls for the creation of opportunities for previously marginalized and excluded students to access institutions of higher education, and to succeed academically. The need to do so is of vital importance to the social, economic, and political stability and development of South Africa, and to strengthening its nascent democratic institutions and traditions.Written in an ethnographic style and based around ten semi-structured face-to-face interviews with key senior and mid-level leaders, this book explores views on leadership for transformation and social justice within higher education.
