Jossey-Bass, a Wiley Brand, publisher of higher education, student
affairs and youth development, announced today it is launching the New
Directions for Student Leadership series. This series will explore
dimensions of the development of leadership in high school youth and
college students to aid leadership educators who design educational
programs for students.
New Directions for Student Leadership will premier in March 2015.
The first issues and their editors include “Innovative Learning for
Leadership Development” (Julie Owen, George Mason University),
“Developing Ethical Leaders” (Arthur Schwartz, Widener University),
“Engagement and Leadership for Social and Political Change” (Kathleen
Knight Abowitz and Michael Evans, Miami University Ohio), and “Student
Leadership Development through Recreation and Athletics” (Don Stenta,
Ohio State University, and Cara McFadden, Elon College).
Series editors will be Susan R. Komives and Kathy L. Guthrie. Komives is
professor emerita from the University of Maryland, cofounder of the
National Clearinghouse for Leadership Programs and coauthor or coeditor
of a dozen books, including Exploring Leadership, Handbook for
Student Leadership Development, and Leadership for a Better
World. She is former coprincipal investigator of the international
Multi-Institutional Study of Leadership and the Leadership Identity
Development model. She is the 2013 recipient of the Lifetime Achievement
Award from ACPA: College Student Educator’s International. Guthrie is
associate professor in higher education at Florida State University and
coordinator of the Undergraduate Certificate in Leadership Studies. She
has coedited a New Directions for Student Services sourcebook
titled “Developing Undergraduate Student Leadership Capacity” and
recently coauthored “Cultivating Leader Identity and Capacity in
Students from Diverse Backgrounds.” Additionally, Guthrie serves on the
editorial board for Journal of Leadership Education, Journal of
College and Character, and Journal of Student Affairs
Research and Practice.
Komives and Guthrie observe “the world today needs more and better
leaders from all contexts who are able to work together on messy
problems. We feel this New Directions series will provide current and
relevant information for educators and administrators working with
students of all ages to develop their leadership capacity and leader
identity.” They have planned issues and welcome proposals on timely
topics that will broaden and deepen current practices in leadership
education. Refer to http://news.wiley.com/NDSL for
