This book delves into the practices of leading and their arrangements within various contemporary educational contexts. Its primary objective is to challenge the traditional, individual, and role-based narrative of educational leadership and shift towards more transformational, collaborative, and ongoing practices between individuals. By centering on leading rather than leadership, the contributors explore how educational leaders lead from diverse positions and across different educational sectors, ranging from schools to higher education.

The chapters in this volume examine the practices of leading in the context of decentring from normative, traditional notions of leadership that focus solely on the individual leader. Instead, they draw upon the theory of practice architectures to understand leading as a shared and ongoing process rather than a singular act. This growing body of work utilizing the theory of practice architectures is revolutionizing our understanding of leading as a practice. By emphasizing practices and their arrangements, this book shifts the traditional narrative of educational leadership towards the more transformative elements of practice architectures, enabling us to think about leading in contemporary contexts more holistically.

Decentring Leadership will serve as a valuable resource for practitioners and researchers in the fields of education leadership and policy, educational administration, educational research, educational studies, and sociology. It was originally published as a special issue of the Journal of Educational Administration and History.
