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 need confronting to create more diverse and inclusive workspaces.
The second 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 cultivating diversity and inclusion in the higher education workplace.
