Abstract

Akin to understandings and notions of schools and schooling more broadly, the knowledge base around educational leadership “remains anchored in Western, Eurocentric philosophies and values” (Cranston & Whitford, 2018, p.3). As such, CASEA has engaged a multipronged approach to “encourage diverse scholarly study and research related to educational administration; to provide an inclusive national forum for reporting and discussing practices and research that is related to educational administration and to build a culture of belonging that represents, celebrates and serves diverse voices in educational administration” (2022, ¶ 1). Aligning with those aims, this symposium highlights six papers that detail Indigenous, anti-colonial and decolonial/nizing research projects that challenge traditional understandings of educational leadership and approaches to research in this area.
