The macro-societal events against social injustice that have occurred recently have brought increasing attention to the problems of inequality in society. Specifically, social movements and events such as the Black Lives Matter and Stop Asian Hate, the Supreme Court's ruling against the legality of employment discrimination against the LGBT population, the COVID-19 pandemic, and the growing diversity of the workforce serve as impetus for more diverse and engaging work contexts. Within the field of education, racial diversity issues such as the paucity of educators of color in the field, workload disparity workload across teacher demographics, the handling of student discipline and employment discrimination have been frequently noted as warranting attention to create more diverse and inclusive workspaces.
The first of two volumes, Leadership in Turbulent Times draws upon cutting edge theories and evidence-based strategies by integrating conceptual and empirical work addressing educational leadership in these unprecedented and turbulent times, with a particular focus on the P-12 education workplace.
Moving theory and practice towards real change, Leadership in Turbulent Times is a timely contribution towards the goal of providing resources for promoting diversity and inclusion to leaders, educators, researchers and policymakers within the field of Education.
