Distributed Leadership for Social Justice in Diverse Localities: The Politics and Pedagogy of Place
Thu, April 21, 9:45 to 11:15am PDT (9:45 to 11:15am PDT), Marriott Marquis San Diego Marina, Floor: North Tower, Ground Level, Pacific Ballroom 21Session Type: Symposium
Abstract
In this symposium, we will interrogate the ways in which the state and geographic typology (i.e. rural, suburban, and urban) of K-12 leaders’ schools influences how they think about and enact socially just leadership in support of LGBTQ+ issues. In so doing, we seek to elevate place as an important aspect of social justice leadership, not merely an incidental piece of demographic information. Our purpose is not to essentialize or “make up people” (Hacking, 1986) and places. Conversely, we seek to problematize how taken-for-granted notions of place—state, regional, and urban/rural local identities—become entwined with school leadership practices to reproduce inequality.
