This book aims to document and reflect on the learnings from intervention programmes at three African higher education councils. It is clear that university leaders face many leadership and management challenges. This is the starting point of the book.

This book critically interrogates the notion of transformation in higher education, focusing on epistemological and structural issues in postcolonial and contemporary Africa. The book considers the multifaceted challenges facing higher education in the continent and uses the concept of transformation as a common thread weaving through a range of issues, including epistemology, identity, relevance, research, collaboration and decoloniality. Arguing for a holistic approach towards progressive and innovative education systems, the book calls for a fundamental transformation that expands access, enhances quality and competitiveness, addresses past injustices and improves the capacity to act together for a more sustainable and just future. Overall, the book makes a powerful case for the power of transformation in higher education to shape the social, economic and cultural fabric of society. This book’s critical evaluation of knowledge production in Africa will be an important read for researchers and policymakers involved in Africa’s higher education sector.

This book of case studies is designed to serve as a resource guide to help higher education students apply higher education leadership and management theories to practice, and to allow them to actively engage in working through diverse institutional issues within assorted institutional contexts. Though this collection of cases was initially created to facilitate the application of theory to practice in small group discussions, individual cases can be easily utilized for more formalized written responses. The cases have been thematically organized within the following broad leadership and management categories: 1) leadership issues; 2) addressing mental health issues; 3) moments of crisis and campus safety; 4) technology in academia; 5) academic freedom; 6) campus diversity; 7) strategic planning and staffing issues; 8) working with student organizations; and 9) policy issues and fiscal tensions.
