Rezensionen
A powerful, comprehensive, and scholarly examination of the experiences and more importantly, impact, of "women leadership" in East African higher education institutions. It demonstrates the power of the HERS-East Africa leadership program to integrate inclusive engaged applied research; to elevate the importance of understanding cultural relevance and context; and to provide structured tools and strategies to address barriers to the advancement of women and girls in education. This is a must-read for scholars and practitioners who want to understand the magnitude of the opportunity and potential for educating women and girls in Africa. Menah Pratt Author of 'Black Wild Girl' and, Vice President of Strategic Affairs and Diversity and Professor of Education, Virginia Tech.
This book describes a unique multi-Tier culture-sensitive leadership model that helps women to advance their careers in higher education while also lifting other women at multiple levels of society whether they are girls at university or returning to school after dropping out (returning learners) or in the community (grass-roots women) with no prior education. As a male ally, I find this book uplifting as it is full of powerful and innovative pathways to advancing education and career development for women and girls everywhere for sustainable development. The book is a must-read for everyone particularly male allies or 'righteous brothers' who must equip girls and women in our lives and profession with the right tools to succeed in both their professional and personal life.
