Theresearch contained in this book seeks to enhance our understanding of school leaders’ actions as theywork to promote socially just practices and/or outcomes in a range of different national contexts. Theunique nature of this research is that studies took place in numerous schools across the globe in avariety of contexts yet utilized the same research protocols. This has allowed the researchers to drawconclusions at an international level about social justice decision making, the supports and barriersbrought on school leaders by national policy and mandates, and the essential nature of context in thework of social justice leadership.The audience will include scholars on a global scale, given that cases in the book include authors and principals from around theworld. The book can also serve as a text for leadership preparation courses as well as courses in social justice, research design, andqualitative research methodologies.
