— Dr. Rose Duhon-Sells, Founder, National Association for Multicultural Education


Perspectives on Diversity, Equity, and Social Justice in Educational Leadership highlights the various ways in which educational leaders can implement school policies and practices to alleviate pressing and persistent academic disparities rooted in structural inequalities. Informed by theoretical approaches to transform schooling, these authors demonstrate the various ways in which education for social justice can be made tangible and concrete. In doing so, these authors provide a vision of possibility aimed at equitable schooling for educational leaders to make a difference within their spheres of influence. This volume promises to be a must read for those for whom the praxis of social justice in schooling is a compelling imperative.
