Calls for Submissions
Women in Educational Leadership: A practitioner’s handbook
Women in Educational Leadership is a handbook for practitioners in the field who identify as women or support women in leadership at all levels. We know that education, although predominantly and traditionally a profession of women, still clings to a patriarchal hierarchy that leaves women navigating leadership differently. By recognizing, deconstructing and interrogating the intersectionality of this experience, our hope is that this book will provide a diversity of narratives that will prompt reflection, dialogue and inspire change. Whether you are a teacher, a school or system leader, or an aspiring educator or leader, and wherever you are on the spectrum of gender, this collection of essays will help you to see different, question more deeply and create space for possibility in all educational settings.
This is a call for contributors for this exciting new opportunity to add to the many narratives which will inform our understanding of educational spaces. Although we have several areas of focus, we are also hopeful that the writers’ voices, experiences and histories will inform how this book is constructed.
Possible areas of focus may include:
• Mothering in Educational Leadership
• Racialized Women and Educational Leadership
• Gender, Sexuality and Educational Leadership
• Women and Mentorship in Educational Leadership
• Women in Educational Leadership in the face of #MeToo
• Women, Social Media and Educational Leadership
At the same time, we are hopeful that the narratives from contributing writers will also shape and guide areas of focus. All narratives should be informed by research within the field of critical feminist theory and its many facets.
Each submission should be between 1500 - 3000 words (with additional space if needed) including:
• an abstract
• prompting questions for reflection and dialogue at the end of each submission
• MS Word, 12 point, double spaced
• Titles must not exceed 15 words
• MLA format
• A personal bio of each author (1 paragraph)
Manuscripts should be sent to jeanne.surface@wordanddeedpublishing.com

Each author tells their own story of how black and brown parents, students, educators, and their allies are fighting back against profound and systemic inequities and mistreatment of children of color in low-income communities. The organizers and activists recount their journeys to movement building, lift up victories and successes, and offer practical organizing strategies and community-based alternatives to traditional education reform and privatization schemes.

SIG Member AnnouncementsNew book lifts up stories and successes in the fight for educational justice
Lift Us Up Don’t Push Us Out! Voices from the Front Lines of the Educational Justice Movement (Beacon Press, 2018) features voices from the frontlines of a new movement for educational justice that is growing across the United States. Each author tells their own story of how black and brown parents, students, educators, and their allies are fighting back against profound and systemic inequities and mistreatment of children of color in low-income communities. The organizers and activists recount their journeys to movement building, lift up victories and successes, and offer practical organizing strategies and community-based alternatives to traditional education reform and privatization schemes.
More information and purchasing links available at: www.liftusupmovement.org
“Lift Us Up, Don’t Push Us Out! is a bold and exciting book that presents the stories we never hear -- powerful stories of successful grassroots organizing in schools and communities across the nation led by parents, students, educators, and allies. The lessons we can learn from these inspiring activists and campaigns need to be spread far and wide.”
