Postmodern School Leadership
( School administrators have been asked What does postmod...)
School administrators have been asked What does postmodern/poststructural theory have to say about educational leadership and the reorganizing of schools in the United States today? This collection of responses reveals that educational administration research and publication has been traditional, conservative, and naive. To improve administrative theory and practice, Maxcy's work presents a lively review of Weberian positivism, Levi-Straussian structuralism, the new postmodern theories in light of existentialism, deconstruction and hermeneutics, hoping to animate administrators to discard stale modes of thought in favor of new philosophical fusions.
