The academics' narratives focus on how the individuals have navigated to their current leadership role in learning and teaching whilst negotiating contested identities, such as gender, and physical and social marginalised spaces, such as interstitial (middle) leadership positions.   These international narratives provide unique perspectives on the sense-making of academics as they reflect on their learning and teaching leadership journey and how these journeys are shaped by their contested identities and the marginalised spaces they inhabit. Often such identities and spaces are not recognised in higher education which may lead to even more isolating and challenging leadership journeys.

How refreshing therefore are the narratives of eleven emerging and established leaders in this core area, with personal insights into how they overcame barriers of coloniality, gender and positionality. -- Ruth Hayhoe * Professor, University of Toronto, Canada; President Emerita, Education University of Hong Kong, Hong Kong *\u003cbr\u003eThis collection of reflective and honest leadership narratives is a valuable contribution to the emerging literature on leadership for learning and teaching. I recommend it to those holding such leadership positions, to those who provide leadership development, as well as to university managements. -- Sylva Frisk * Senior Lecturer\/Distinguished Teacher in Social Anthropology, University of Gothenburg, Sweden *\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eList of Illustrations  Acknowledgements  Notes on Contributors Foreword, \u003ci\u003eTansy Jessop (University of Bristol, UK)\u003c\/i\u003e Introduction to Leadership in Learning and Teaching in Higher Education within Contested Spaces, \u003ci\u003eNamrata Rao (Liverpool Hope University, UK) and Anesa Hosein (University of Surrey, UK)\u003c\/i\u003e \u003cb\u003ePart I: Navigating Leadership in Marginalised Spaces\u003c\/b\u003e  1.
