The global economic meltdown has highlighted the interconnectedness of nations. This book seeks to provide an overviewof topics, issues, and best practices related to defining social justice leadership given our increasingly global world.Refugees and immigrants from around the globe now inhabit schools and institutions of higher education across thenation and US students, teachers, and leaders are traversing international boarders both physically and virtually throughinternational collaboration, technology, and exchange programs. Although there have been increased efforts and scholarshipin support of diversity and multicultural awareness, these efforts have largely focused on the US. We acknowledgethat many leadership theories are "domestic" in that they typically incorporate US perspectives or a single-culturedescription of effective leadership. This book provides a deeper understanding of diverse and multicultural perspectivesas they relate to a world that is becoming increasingly interconnected economically, socially, and culturally. Particularattention is paid to providing specific strategies for social justice leaders working in PK-12 and/or higher education, andleadership preparation programs to promote effective leadership that reflects multicultural understanding of the diversityboth within and outside the US. Within the context of leadership practice, internationalization offers new insights and ideas about leadership aims, processes, and competenciesas a means for addressing equity concerns throughout PK-20 education.
