Reviews

Critical Administration in Higher Education: Negotiating Political Commitment and Managerial Practice is a must-have for any administrator who cares about diversity, inclusivity, and justice in the workplace. The authors who contribute to the volume go all in by sharing personal stories, offering candid advice, and connecting to the relevant scholarly literature. I know this book helped me to think about how I can be an ethical and just chair, and it will undoubtedly help many others. Jay Brower and W. Benjamin Myers are to be commended for this unique, thoughtful, and bold collection of essays! -- Jimmie Manning, Northern Illinois University
