Gender, Identity and Educational Leadership explores how head teachers' social identities – particularly pertaining to gender, social class and ethnicity – influence their leadership of diverse populations of pupils and staff. Informed by new research conducted throughout the first decade of the 21st century and advances in gender theories, the book draws attention to how head teachers' views of their diverse school populations influence school leadership. Connections are made between head teachers' social identities; their personal and professional histories; and their perceptions of diversity amongst the children, young people, staff and the wider communities they serve.

Reviews for Gender, Identity and Educational Leadership

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. Marianne Coleman, Emeritus Reader in Educational Leadership and Management, Institute of Education, University of London, UK
