Leadership in Context

Objectives:

1) To unpack the conceptual underpinnings of `culture¿ as a social construct, in order to identify the role that `culture¿ plays, and could play, in shaping and defining the leadership landscape within the Higher Education landscape;
2) To explore and analyse, based on past leadership experiential practices, the prevalent customs, behaviours and values relating to student leadership, in order to identify challenges relating to the structure and performance of leadership practice within the Higher Education context;
3) To provide students with the tools to engage the processes of change, reimagination and practice of leadership within their context, so that students envision an institutional leadership `culture¿ that is relevant, adaptable, consistent, and grounded in student needs.
