CLD Seminar: Leadership, Culture and the Moral Community
Dr. Paul F. Bitting, Associate Professor, Department of Educational Leadership and Policy Studies, College of Education at North Carolina State University.
Thursday, 29 January 2009, 12 noon to 1.30pm OISE, Room 6-122
The purpose of this seminar is to pursue the idea of leadership in terms of social reform so defined. Cognitive mistakes about morality come in two basic varieties:
mistakes about its content and mistakes about its scope
mistakes of scope are indexed to beliefs about the moral status of individuals, specifically to beliefs about their place within the moral community and the extent to which these individuals are subject to the rights and responsibilities that membership in the moral community implies.
Leaders as social reformers are careful to avoid scope mistakes which endeavor to fix the domain of individuals to whom moral obligations are owed.

CLD Seminar: Investing in Diversity: Changing the Face and Heart of Leadership
Rosemary Campbell-Stephens, Director of the Investing in Diversity Programme, London Centre for Leadership, Institute of Education at the University of London
14 November 2007, 5:00 to 6:30 pm (OISE/UT Room 2-281)
This seminar will explore the values underpinning Investing in Diversity Programme, what it means to be a 'global majority' leader in London, and why the looming crisis of a shortage of school leaders in one of the most cosmopolitan cities on the planet opens up opportunities for radically different ways of leading learning. Investing in Diversity is a bespoke one-year leadership development course for experienced Black and minority ethnic middle leaders in London schools who aspire to senior leadership positions. Far from simply creating more BME leaders, the programme seeks to carve a space for new leadership paradigms to emerge and for the authentic voices of global majority leaders to be heard at a strategic level as they change not only the face - but the heart of school leadership in London and beyond.

The Seduction of Forgetfulness: (Re)Membering Body, Mind and Spirit with Cynthia B. Dillard. November 10, 3-5pm. Room 5-280 OISE/UT.
This talk examines the provocative idea of flipping the script on the notion of danger in ethnography and putting seduction under scrutiny. What are the seductions, particularly related to education and educational research, that have detrimental effects on our minds, bodies, and spirits, particularly for those of us with African heritage? How do we (re)member as a way of talking back to the power of these seductions, resisting them, and recognizing our own power in the process?
