Current Research Interests
- Power, the superintendency
- Women in administration
- School management and policy
- Collaborative decision-making
Profile
My interests center on ontologically-held conceptions of power, constructions
of identity, and the dynamics they create during decision making. Through ethnographic
and other qualitative methods, both traditional and non-traditional, I study superintendents
and other administrators through a lens informed by various theoretical perspectives
including ones advancing social justice.
