Populism And Educational Leadership, Administration And Policy: International Perspectives (Routledge Research In Educational Leadership)

This book explores theoretical and practical implications of a global resurgence of populism on educational leadership. Drawing together a wide range of international authors, it examines how sociocultural and political populist developments affect educational policies, organisations and administration around the world. The collection addresses the forms and meanings of populism and examines their influence on education systems and institutions. It includes theoretical perspectives and rich examples from Brazil, Canada, Finland, France, Hungary, Nicaragua, Australia, the UK and US, exploring the complex influences and effects of populism on education policy, politics and institutions in these countries. These include attacks on initiatives promoting equity and inclusion, repression of academic freedom, erosion of institutional autonomy from partisan political direction, and the suppression of evidence and expertise in policy and curriculum development. With its international and multidisciplinary outlook, this book will be highly relevant reading for researchers, scholars and students in the fields of educational leadership and administration, higher education and education policy, as well as those interested in the contemporary manifestations of populism on education.
