This book is an outstanding resource for those interested in critical leadership for global higher education - a sector in crisis. Highlighting work done by feminist, post-colonial, indigenous and environmental scholars, Jill Blackmore identifies Australia as a case study of the tension between damage caused by Covid-19 and the possibility of creating a sustainable and equitable future for universities.
