Decolonizing Educational Leadership / Progress in Mathematics (PDF)

"Grounded in historical context, Lopez draws on her experience as a practitioner and scholar to methodologically examine 'the continued tensions in education and schooling.' Decolonizing education in these unprecedented times amid a pandemic and racial unrest is a call to action in schools and society."

-Gaëtane Jean-Marie, Dean and Professor of Educational Leadership, Rowan University, USA

"Lopez effectively and brilliantly presents the case for critical and liberating approaches to educational leadership. The work is massively unique in its temporality in that it focuses on an area that has somehow mostly avoided the urgent need to examine its structures and outcomes. Indeed, the contents of this book are forwardly recasting educational leadership as a pragmatically constructed, cognitively dynamic, and programmatically inclusive platform for polycentric teaching, learning, and leadership. It will greatly benefit educational leadership scholars, students, and professionals."
