A Shadow of Ourselves: Identity Erasure and the Politics of Queer Leadership
Lugg, Catherine A.; Tooms, Autumn K.
School Leadership & Management, v30 n1 p77-91 Feb 2010
In this article, the authors explore issues of identity, sexual orientation, gender identity, educational leadership and leadership preparation. We discuss professional norms, including attire, and in turn how professional norms might construct panopticons, identity and US public school leadership. We conclude by exploring a consciously queer approach to educational leadership preparation. (Contains 8 notes.)
