Book Review: Moving Towards Action: Anti-Racism in Leadership Learning

Leadership education is essential for preparing higher education professionals to take initiative, support students, guide colleagues and supervisees, implement initiatives, and shape direction in their work. While leadership skills are often highlighted by faculty and professionals as vital for success in the field, students in higher education programs may not be taught the importance of anti-racism in leadership practice. Additionally, faculty and staff may lack the knowledge or willingness to engage in these critical discussions. To address this gap, Cameron C. Beatty and Amber Manning-Ouellette’s co-edited volume issues a call to action for leadership educators and higher education professionals—particularly those working in student activities and engagement—to embrace and practice anti-racist leadership in fostering inclusive communities where all students feel a sense of belonging.
