Contributing to the relational trend in the social sciences, it first surveys relational scholarship across disciplines before providing a nuanced articulation of the relational research program and key concepts such as \u003ci\u003eorganizing activity\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eauctors\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003espatio-temporal conditions\u003c\/i\u003e. It also includes critical commentaries on the program from key figures such as Tony Bush, Megan Crawford, Fenwick English, Helen Gunter, Izhar Oplatka, Augusto Riveros, and Dawn Wallin. As such, the text models an approach to, or social epistemology for building knowledge claims in relation rather than through parallel monologues.\u003c\/p\u003eEacott’s \u003ci\u003erelational\u003c\/i\u003e approach provides a distinctive, post-Bourdieusian variant of the relational sociological project. Shifting the focus of inquiry from entities (e.g., leaders, organizations) to \u003ci\u003eorganizing activity\u003c\/i\u003e and recognizing how \u003ci\u003eauctors \u003c\/i\u003egenerate – simultaneously emerging from and constitutive of – \u003ci\u003espatio-temporal conditions\u003c\/i\u003e unsettles the orthodoxy of organizational theory in educational administration and leadership. By presenting its claims in the context of other approaches, the book stimulates intellectual debate among both relational sociologists and opponents of relational approaches.\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eBeyond Leadership\u003c\/i\u003e provides significant insights into the organizing of education. As it does not fit neatly into any one field, but instead blends educational administration and leadership, organizational studies, and relational sociology, among others, it charts new territory and promotes important dialogue and debate.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2017-10-11\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9789811065675\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-981-10-6568-2\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 278\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer Nature Singapore","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47521125531788,"sku":"9789811065675","price":116.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9789811065675.jpg?v=1776006865","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9789811065675","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
