Critical Administration in Higher Education : Negotiating Political Commitment and Managerial Practice Hardback

Part of the Critical Communication Pedagogy series
Hardback
Description
Critical Administration: Negotiating Political Commitment and Managerial Practice in Contemporary Higher Education explores the challenges that higher education administrators face when negotiating political commitments in the day-to-day practice of university life.
Jay Brower and W. Benjamin Myers have collected reflections from 12 administrators, all of whom identify as critical/cultural scholars, about how ideological commitments affect their identities as administrators and the work they conduct.
Contributors reflect on how their academic training helps them understand their role as administrators in higher education in terms of central issues surrounding power, ethics, and identity, and how they entwine with managerial responsibilities.
Each contributor focuses on specific experiences where their managerial duties intersect with political commitments.
Ultimately, this collection provides opportunities to observe the challenges and opportunities of performing ethical leadership in contemporary higher education.
Scholars of education, critical/cultural communication, and administration will find this book particularly useful.
