Reviews

Author Information

Cecile H. Sam is Associate Professor of Educational Leadership at Rowan University, USA. She explores faculty work, academic leadership, and the shifting contours of higher education in the techno-modern era. Her current projects focus on the ethical dimensions of faculty life, leadership, and the ways technology reshapes our understanding of education. Across her writing and teaching, she foregrounds story as a critical lens for exploring how power, ethics, and identity intersect in academic contexts. Ane Turner Johnson is Professor of Educational Leadership at Rowan University, USA. As a scholar of international education, her research traces the entanglements of policymaking, governance, and (neo)colonial resistance in African higher education. From exploring refugee students’ deployment of cultural heritage to documenting epistemic disobedience among faculty, her work champions qualitative, decolonial approaches that disrupt the dominance of neoliberal and positivist research regimes in education.
