Educational Leadership and Michel Foucault

Donald Gillies

4.9/5 (10276 ratings)

Description:Drawing from the ideas of Michel Foucault, this book offers a critical examination of todays dominant discourse of educational leadership. Foucaults understanding of critique is as a permanent ethos in which humans explore the nature of their existence but at the same time query the limits imposed upon them, and probe opportunities for increasing freedom. This book outlines the key concepts in the work of Foucault, and demonstrates how his concepts of discourse, power/knowledge, and governmentality offer an understanding of how ideas of educational leadership and management have emerged, how they serve to establish a discipline, and how they construct individuals pupils, teachers, and head teachers - in particular ideological ways. The discourse of educational leadership and management not only represents a specific means of governing education but also calls for the development of approved management and leadership skills and behaviours. The related focus on cultivating, valuing, and rewarding effective leaders is eminently suited to Foucauldian critique, which not only questions the basis for its assumptions and norms, but also examines the way in which the subjects of ELMA - todays educational professionals - are both constructed by the discourse and are called upon to shape themselves accordingly.Included in the book: - educational leadership as discourse- educational leadership as discipline- power and educational leadership- governmentality and educational leadership.By both applying theory and examining empirical exemplars, this volume offers a challenge to dominant leadership discourse and suggests alternative understandings of the field and approaches to practice.
