Rapidly changing global demographics demand visionary, collaborative, and culturally appropriate leadership practices on university campuses.

Each chapter explores a critical higher educational leadership issue with feasible strategies and solutions. In this exciting book, theory and research-based chapters unpack culturally responsive leadership, revealing how higher education leaders in the U.S. and international contexts can improve their practice for social equity and educational change.
