This book was released on 2016-11-30 with total page 112 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The notion of culturally relevant leadership learning builds upon the ideas of developing leader identity and leadership capacity of diverse students. Focusing on four areas of leadership learning: education, training, development, and engagement, this volume presents a model of culturally relevant leadership learning in order to develop all student leaders. It proposes infusing the leadership development process with an understanding of how systemic oppression influences educational contexts and with an engagement in and across cultural differences. Our contexts and differences influence knowledge of self, others, cultural contexts and systems, and ultimately students’ knowledge and enactment of leadership.To this end, culturally relevant leadership development programs equip all students with the knowledge and skills to navigate diverse settings and lead culturally diverse groups and teams. Transforming the framework for how leadership programs are designed will result in contextually relevant leadership development programs and an increase in the breadth and depth of a diverse leadership cadre for our society.

Book excerpt: Moving Towards Action: Centering Anti-Racism in Leadership Learning speaks to communities of people within and surrounding higher education and specifically, leadership educators, partners, researchers, administrators, and student affairs practitioners.

By centering how implicit and explicit racism are woven into leadership education, the text asks leadership educators to critically explore their own anti-racist approaches, reimagine their leadership program outcomes, and think more broadly about how leadership education can be more anti-racist and move towards action with equitable and just outcomes. Beatty and Manning-Ouellette assemble the text for all audiences to gain a deeper, more complex perspective on racism, anti-racist frameworks, and leaving leadership education better than when they arrived. The text is organized in such a way that leadership educators can take away new practices for navigating personal struggle, fragility, and resistance around topics of racism that occur in both curricular and co-curricular collegiate leadership programs.

Book excerpt: 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 ducators 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.
