Leadership in Higher Education

Catalog description

Designed to provide foundational grounding in leadership theory and research. Pays specific attention to the evolution of leadership theory, interdisciplinary conceptualizations of the topic, administrative applications of theory, pedagogy for teaching and learning about leadership, and the leadership development process of college students. Given leadership is a contextually-bound and socially-constructed phenomenon, time is dedicated to understanding cultural dimensions and considerations, as well as examining content using critical perspectives that allow for the deconstruction and reconstruction of leadership theory in service of social justice.
