Our partnership bridges global critical scholarship with active institutional leadership. Dr. Stephanie Chitpin’s foundational work as series editor of the Transforming Education Through Critical Leadership, Policy and Practice book series has continually challenged conventional transformational leadership models that mask systemic barriers. Collaborating with Dr. Awad Ibrahim—Full Professor and Vice-Provost of Equity, Diversity, and Inclusive Excellence at the University of Ottawa—strengthens this vision. Dr. Ibrahim’s scholarship in critical education, cultural studies, and social justice perfectly aligns with our aim to redefine educational leadership within civil society.
