Gunter -- Index."Explores academic development at the individual level in different international higher education contexts and on the implications for academic leadership development"--Provided by publisher."This book explores what academic leadership in higher education might mean in the cosmopolitan and increasingly globalised 21st century through individual academics' narrative accounts drawn from a range of international contexts. The book shows that academic leadership is key to an individual's development and that it could mean different things in different settings as academics operate across the levels of professional practice, institutional organisation, sector-wide systems and international networks. This book argues for the importance of cosmopolitan perspectives on academic leadership which are developed from the particularities of local and everyday situated experience. Part I of the book explores key theoretical perspectives; Part II provides first-hand accounts from the contributors of their own development as academic leaders; and Part III discusses some of the implications for those with responsibility for academic development and for all those concerned with developing the qualities necessary for leadership practices."--Provided by publisher.Education and globalizationEducation, HigherAims and objectivesEducational leadershipUniversities and collegesAdministrationEducationEducation and globalization.Education, HigherAims and objectives.Educational leadership.Universities and collegesAdministration.378EDU000000EDU015000bisacshSu Feng1978-Wood Margaret1957-UtOrBLWUtOrBLWUkLoBPBOOK9910158608303321Cosmopolitan perspectives on academic leadership in higher education2786981UNINA
