These leadership issues might relate to human rights, movement and migration, gender, language, (dis)ability, innovation, and socio-economic development amongst others.

An international and comparative framework for examining and understanding leadership issues will be utilized throughout the course. An outcome of this course is that students will develop a commitment to improving education globally through targeted and localized initiatives in which they may participate. <br> <br><font color="crimson">
