Open Ad hoc IASR Lecture Wed 18.9. Jane Wilkinson: Leading for Social Justice and Diversity Through a Practice Architecture Lens

Abstract

In this presentation, Jane Wilkinson employs a practice lens, the theory of practice architectures (Kemmis and Grootenboer, 2008) to disrupt traditional notions of leadership as the valorisation of individual leaders and their traits or competencies. 

Employing a case study of a previously monocultural Australian school, she examines the conditions that support the enactment of more socially just educational practices. In so doing, she illustrates why and
how studies of leadership need to reclaim the five ‘p’s’ of leadership – power, politics, praxis, pedagogy and practice.
