Journal of Educational Administration and History

Aims & Scope

Journal of Educational Administration and History publishes papers that contribute to debates on educational administration, leadership, management and policy in a range of settings.

Work that is comparative and socially critical and which addresses issues such as power, authority, ideals, principles, diversity and difference is welcome.

While the journal seeks to publish authoritative accounts of the history of educational administration—we publish more than historical research—and encourage papers from a range of conceptual, theoretical, and/or methodological positions.

We also welcome research that brings together researchers, policy makers and practitioners.

The journal has a special responsibility to publish work that is interdisciplinary and draws on economics, philosophy, politics, sociology and other fields of inquiry.
