Indigenous Leadership in Higher Education

This volume offers new perspectives from Indigenous leaders in academic affairs, student affairs, and central administration to improve colleges and universities in service to Indigenous students and professionals. It discusses and illustrates ways that leadership norms, values, assumptions, and behaviours can often find their origins in cultural identities, and how such assumptions can affect the evolvement of colleges and universities in serving Indigenous Peoples. It contributes to leadership development and reflection among novice, experienced, and emerging leaders in higher education and provides key recommendations for transforming higher education.

Indigenous Leadership in Higher Education introduces readers to relationships between Indigenous identities and leadership in diverse educational environments and institutions. It will benefit policymakers in education, student affairs professionals, scholars, faculty, and students.
