Publications and Research

My scholarship re-frames educational leadership. The goal is to make educational leadership more inclusive, equitable, and oriented towards uplifting people and improving schooling experiences. This includes addressing issues of racial and gender discrimination in educational leadership. I aim to move the conversation and activities of policymakers, practitioners and researchers towards seeing and using leadership as a mechanism for people to do their best work in schools. Consistent with this commitment, I draw on organizational behavior, organizational theory, and social psychology to investigate leadership and change issues (i.e., organizational change, inclusivity, and equity) on all levels.
