This significant volume in the series explores the key concepts central to the work of Derrida and Lyotard, and reveals how these ideas challenge existing structures, hierarchies and models of thought. Deconstructing Educational Leadership provides concrete examples of the application of theories to policy, literature and empirical data, and identifies ideas which continue to impact contemporary practices of educational leadership and management.
