Kay Fuller is Associate Professor of Educational Leadership in the Centre for Research in Educational Leadership and Management at the University of Nottingham, UK.
Kay Fuller has provided a thought-provoking and insightful analysis of the intersectionality of gender, identity and educational leadership. Drawing on post-structuralist theories and interview data with female and male school leaders, Kay traces ways in which personal histories and contexts impact on head teachers' professional lives and understandings. Importantly, the misrecognitions that Kay documents offer researchers in the field a challenging agenda for future work. Tanya Fitzgerald, Professor of Educational Leadership, Management and History, La Trobe University, Australia This book advances the study of educational leadership. Kay Fuller takes forward our thinking and understanding of gender, class and ethnicity as they relate to the role and function of the head teacher using a theoretical framework that breaks fresh ground for the field. I commend this book to all those concerned with social justice in educational leadership.
