Rezensionen

"This book makes no apologies in justifying why we need to ground the teaching and research in organizational theory in educational administration in areas such as critical race theory, feminist epistemologies, Queer theories, Disability studies, etc. Capper truly embraces a sincerity of intersectionality, which will help students re-think what organizations mean and what they do. This book will push our field to once and for all move research and teaching away from the traditional frameworks, and toward the organizational realities of the lived experiences of the people in those organizations."
-Laurence Parker, Professor of Educational Leadership and Policy, University of Utah

"Instead of the typical manner of presenting organizational theories as topics such as structure, decision making, and leadership, Capper provides a unique analysis that makes so much more sense for the leadership development of educators. Using valuable teaching tools, she provides the opportunity for students (and instructors) to analyze their own identity development as they struggle with the claims of the various epistemologies regarding equity and diversity."
-Gary M. Crow, Professor Emeritus, Indiana University

"If you have ever wanted to critically interrogate the almost completely 'race- and culturally neutral' ways we think about and analyze organizations and organizational dynamics in schools, then this book is for you. I do not know of any other text that analyzes in such a thorough and truly useful fashion, while also acknowledging educational leadership's history. This gem of a book includes rich dives into relevant epistemologies balanced against practical, pertinent, and quite useful case studies that speak to the current state of school leadership."
-Mark Anthony Gooden, Program Director and Christian A. Johnson Endeavor Professor of Education Leadership, Columbia University
