Rezensionen

"This provocative book raises new questions about the identities that are most salient in determining the direction of public policy discourses." - The Review of Higher Education

"Critical discourse analysis, coupled with the analyses of narratives and conversations employed in this study, is a brilliant methodological tool for illuminating that power and its consequences for practice and policy in higher education. Written with passion and zeal for social change, Pasque's critique of educational leaders is both sobering and inspiring." - Tatiana Suspitsyna, Associate Professor of Educational Studies, The Ohio State University, USA
