“…Numerous research studies, reviews of literature, books, and reports identified obstacles that stand in the way of women's career progression in different sectors and countries (AAUW, 2016;AIEA, 2018;Alsharif, 2018;AQU Catalunya, 2019;Arar, 2018;Bayir & Dönmez, 2020;Cheung, 2021;Clover et al, 2017;Colantuono, 2010;Coleman, 2020;Davis, 2012;Folke et al, 2020;Gaudette et al, 2018;Griffiths et al, 2018;Kim & Kim, 2020;Maheshwari & Nayak, 2020;McCullough, 2020;McKinsey, 2021;Regulska, 2021;Yousaf & Schmiede, 2017). These obstacles occur on individual, organizational, socio-cultural, economic, and systemic levels.…”

This article examines perspectives of 29 women regarding their personal and professional growth in the international education field. The information was drawn from the interviews conducted by volunteers of the Global Leadership League, a women-founded professional development organization advancing feminine leadership traits and skills, knowledge, and community. These Limelight series of interviews were analyzed to shed light on how women from different countries and career levels were able to launch and advance in their careers and grow as leaders in international education. The key learnings from their stories can support career development in other professions as well.

“…While other feminist theories often remain "stuck" on the theoretical level, FEL embraces the practical application as direct reflection in leadership practices (Blackmore, 1996). Instead of ascribing leadership traits to specific gender categories, FEL aims at trying to encapsulate how gendered leadership experiences have been shaped by a variety of -isms while at the same time striving to effect positive change (Clover et al, 2017).…”

Crisis leadership in higher education has received scholarly attention before COVID-19, yet found itself even more in the focus of global leadership research since 2020. This article employs the theoretical framework of Feminist Educational Leadership (FEL) to better understand the crisis leadership of five women university presidents from three different continents and five different countries during the COVID-19 pandemic. Through content analysis, the researchers identified themes related to the four components of FEL (concerns for social justice and equity for all stakeholders, empowerment of all stakeholders, establishment of a sentiment of caring, and fighting existing injustices) in the presidents’ qualitative interviews for a larger project on university presidential leadership during COVID-19. The findings show that women university presidents employ FEL in order to successfully lead their institutions through crises.

“…The horizontalist form of organizing seen in OL rejects hierarchies that reproduce power structures and exclude diversity (Kokkinidis, 2012). Instead, such social movements create space for a feminist leadership that is inherently focused on the nature of change that a collective group of individuals can bring through processes of social action (Clover et al, 2017). This is important for HRD professionals because developing feminist leaders would not focus on techniques or processes of performativity traditionally addressed in leadership development programs (Learmonth & Morrell, 2019).…”

The emergence of the Occupy movements along with other social movements in 2011 elevated the idea of radically decentralized 'leaderless' social movement organizations. We argue that looking at such an alternative, horizontalist form of organizing presents an opportunity to reframe how we understand leadership. This paper illustrates how the coordination of the Occupy London movement was accomplished horizontally in the absence of formal organization, leadership or authority structures. Using an ethnographic approach, we show how this movement generated a 'multimodal' repertoire of protest that included: i) the politically effective occupation of urban space; ii) the ability to deploy symbols as compelling forms of aesthetic questioning; and iii) the creation of politically-charged spectacles that allowed the movement to appropriate the news agendas of established broadcast media. The findings of this paper challenge the language of leadership and contribute to understandings of feminist forms of leadership and leaderless organizing by explaining one way that 'leadership' occurs in horizontal organizational structures such as social movements. Namely, we demonstrate how the modes of space, symbols, and spectacles effectively replace the role of 'leader' in the absence of formal organizational structures.
