Notes

This edited book documents the patterns, causes, and effects of principal time-use internationally. The collection is divided into three sections: (a) Theoretical perspectives and methodological issues, (b) Principal time-use in Western contexts, and (c) Principal time-use in Asia and Africa. In reviewing the collection, I first show the value of its applicability to educational leadership theory, methodology, policy, and practice. Then, I problematize the false dichotomy established by the organization of the latter two sections into, essentially, “Western” and “Other” contexts.
