HANNE MAWHINNEY is an associate professor and coordinator of the
Organizational Leadership area at the University of Maryland. Through her
research and scholarship Dr. Mawhinney advances a critical and an interpretive
approach to the institutional analysis of the politics of educational leadership,
administration, governance, and policy change by examining the tensions
between the institutional order governing educational organizations and various
sociopolitical processes in particular social ecologies, including those associated
with influences of globalization. Recent publications include a chapter in the
Handbook of Education Politics and Policy (2008), entitled “Towards a new political
leadership praxis in the rescaled space of urban educational governance,” a
reprinted article entitled “Deliberative democracy in imagined communities:
How the power geometry of globalization shapes local leadership praxis” in
Educational Leadership and Administration (2008), and an article in Educational Policy
(2009) entitled “Shifting scales of education politics in a vernacular of disruption
and dislocation.”
