<p>The world’s space in which we find ourselves today sometimes looks like what some of us familiar with the episodes of Stranger Things have seen in the Upside Down. In that discernable space, we see those who wish to hold or maintain power, spewing monstrous and persuasive provocations of unfair advantages, partisan rivalries, exclusive competence, and antagonistic relationships with disregard for diversity, equity, and inclusion. Often we wait on that someone to lead us to a Right-side Up portal, one that is a stable, bright, maintained, and sustained—one in which we can contemplate fair advantages, respectful rivalries, comprehensive excellence,and positive relationships with high regard for diversity, equity, and inclusion. Indeed, Editors Henry Tran and Gaëtane Jean-Marie have captured the turbulent Upside Down within the pages of their latest book. They, and the authors, represent that collective someone who points scholars and practitioners in the education workplace toward the contemplation of the Right-side Up portal.</p>

This is an exciting text that brings the marginalized experiences to the center where it pivots the conversation and scholarship to become the reality in the field that we need to be teaching and talking about.

<p><em>Leadership in Turbulent Times</em> is a refreshing volume on P-12 school leadership. Tran and Jean-Marie are keenly aware of the missing voices, under-studied experiences, and enduring problems of diversity and inclusion in P-12 leadership studies. Every chapter is enlightening and exemplifies a critical multicultural leadership approach to leading in today’s education workplaces.</p>

The macro-societal events against social injustice that have occurred recently have brought increasing attention to the problems of inequality in society. Specifically, social movements and events such as the Black Lives Matter and Stop Asian Hate, the Supreme Court’s ruling against the legality of employment discrimination against the LGBT population, the COVID-19 pandemic, and the growing diversity of the workforce serve as impetus for more diverse and engaging work contexts. Within the field of education, racial diversity issues such as the paucity of educators of color in the field, workload disparity workload across teacher demographics, the handling of student discipline and employment discrimination have been frequently noted as warranting attention to create more diverse and inclusive workspaces.
The first of two volumes, Leadership in Turbulent Times draws upon cutting edge theories and evidence-based strategies by integrating conceptual and empirical work addressing educational leadership in these unprecedented and turbulent times, with a particular focus on the P-12 education workplace.
Moving theory and practice towards real change, Leadership in Turbulent Times is a timely contribution towards the goal of providing resources for promoting diversity and inclusion to leaders, educators, researchers and policymakers within the field of Education.
