Ryan, James

International Journal of Leadership in Education, v1 n3 p257-78 Jul-Sep 1998

Explores possibilities for critical, resistance-based approaches to school leadership. Compares Marx's, Habermas's, Baudrillard's, and Foucault's views of human regulation, along with other individual/group theories. Assesses theories' utility for critical leadership in education. Individuals can resist oppressive school practices by pursuing forms of community shared with others. (55 references) (MLH)
