In Leading Toward Liberation, Annmarie Caño promotes academic leadership as a liberatory practice. She draws from her experiences as a first-generation college student and Latina; clinical psychologist, professor, and researcher; and executive coach and higher education leader. Theoretically grounded in the psychology of liberation, each chapter provides real life examples to illustrate how academic leaders can co-create cultures with others in which everyone can thrive. A set of self-coaching questions is offered at the end of each chapter to support reflection, growth, and action to effect institutional change.
“Leading Toward Liberation is a book for everyone! Annmarie Caño offers practical suggestions to develop a liberation mindset. She shows how to transform ourselves and our institutions. I strongly recommend this powerful book!”
