This major initiative was generated and driven by men; however, it had a direct impact on the professional lives of thousands of women who ran schools. The article…

The purpose of this article is to provide linkages to retributive political actions centred in the USA aimed at erasing a long standing commitment of the responsibility of institutions of higher education to correct and ameliorate historical social, racial and moral injustices and inequalities with a political ideology that denies their legitimacy…

Curricular justice, achieved through a counter-hegemonic curriculum that serves the needs of the least rather than most advantaged members of society, plays a central role in providing more equitable access to meaningful education for all young people.

We reject the idea that school leaders must necessarily be politicians who serve as bureaucratic management-oriented functionaries. We claim instead they are intellectual leaders who might…

Alongside the Disney theme park, miles of beaches along both the Atlantic Ocean and the Gulf of Mexico, Florida's long southern peninsula is filled with political, social, and cultural differences.
