Education for Leadership and Social Responsibility

Gloria Morris Nemerowicz Β· 1997
95/100
πŸ‘ Worth It

Gloria Nemerowicz and Eugene Rossi start from an honest observation: colleges talk about developing leaders but rarely build it into curriculum in any systematic way. This edited volume tries to close that gap with contributors covering theory, learning from artists and children, and leadership in professional settings β€” an interdisciplinary spread that keeps it from reading like a single-perspective tract. Routledge/Falmer publication implies peer-reviewed editorial standards, which matters for an academic audience. The caveat that cuts deepest is age: nearly thirty years of leadership education research, including significant work on equity, identity, and adaptive leadership, have built up since 1997. Useful as a historical benchmark or foundational text; not a current state-of-the-field resource.
