The   chapters are focused on provoking readers to think critically about   intellectual leadership in precarious times. The contributors frame critical   questions about the unevenness, ambivalences, and disruptions that now mark   everyday life and interactions. Rather than thinking about ‘freedom from   precarious times and precarity’ they consider ‘freedom from within’ and how   the sovereignty and autonomy of the individual to think and speak within the   public realm might be retained, if not reclaimed. In the precarious present   and in times of precarity, what has changed and why? What might now be the   new social reality within which we work?  Each   of the contributors have been invited to take up their own perspective on   what is precarious, and to examine the impacts on intellectual leadership.   What does it mean to do intellectual work and be an intellectual leader? What   are the implications for intellectual work and leadership if the academy   itself is in precarious times?","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51603526451473,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":51603526648081,"sku":"NGR9781350291843","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52770181153041,"sku":"NLS9781350291843","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1350291846.jpg?v=1751336250"},{"product_id":"leaders-and-leadership-in-education-book-helen-gunter-9780761954927","title":"Leaders and Leadership in Education","description":"`Leaders and Leadership in Education makes a significant contribution to improvement literature.
