O knihe

The global economic meltdown has highlighted the interconnectedness of nations. This book seeks to provide an overview
of topics, issues, and best practices related to defining social justice leadership given our increasingly global world.
Refugees and immigrants from around the globe now inhabit schools and institutions of higher education across the
nation and US students, teachers, and leaders are traversing international boarders both physically and virtually through
international collaboration, technology, and exchange programs. Although there have been increased efforts and scholarship
in support of diversity and multicultural awareness, these efforts have largely focused on the US. We acknowledge
that many leadership theories are "domestic" in that they typically incorporate US perspectives or a single-culture
description of effective leadership. This book provides a deeper understanding of diverse and multicultural perspectives
as they relate to a world that is becoming increasingly interconnected economically, socially, and culturally. Particular
attention is paid to providing specific strategies for social justice leaders working in PK-12 and/or higher education, and
leadership preparation programs to promote effective leadership that reflects multicultural understanding of the diversity
both within and outside the US. Within the context of leadership practice, internationalization offers new insights and ideas about leadership aims, processes, and competencies
as a means for addressing equity concerns throughout PK-20 education.
