Education without nationalism: Locating leadership when borders no longer hold

Abstract

The global economy has undercut nation-state borders. In doing so, as Fraser argues, issues and peoples are misframed and thus misrepresented. In this chapter, we examine three cases of misframing: Los 43, DREAMers and recent Chicago school reform. These cases demonstrate that Educational Leaders Without Borders have to develop dramatically new approaches to leadership. Educational Leaders Without Borders, of course, cannot overcome the failures of the nation-state or the global economy, but they are now responsible for creating communities across borders and representing these communities politically and economically in the new world order.
