This series of audio interviews considers what doing leadership could mean for those tasked with stewarding higher education institutes through fast-shifting worlds. The series is for anyone practising leadership, who wishes to reflect on and possibly extend how you do leadership and to what end.
Advance HE Global Associate Jo Chaffer speaks to six people to understand how their different backgrounds and pathways are shaping their leadership today and ask what people can learn about themselves and their leadership. They are:
- Professor Richard Little, founding member of Impact International
- Simon Ross, Director Indigenous Leadership Program at Banff Centre for Arts and Creativity, Canada and a hereditary member of the Nlaka'pamux Nation
- Frederick Ebot Ashu, a Professor in Educational Leadership for Peace and Sustainable Development at the University of Buea, Cameroon
- Giselle Byrnes, Provost of Massey University / Te Kunenga ki Pūrehuroa, New Zealand
- Braden Hill, Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Students, Equity and Indigenous), Edith Cowan University, Australia
- Meihana Durie, DVC Māori at Massey University / Te Kunenga ki Pūrehuroa, New Zealand
Each audio interview will be accompanied by a short blog which further explores the leaders’ themes and considering how these might be relevant and useful for our own roles. The blogs will be published one by one at the start of 2025.
Advance HE members can listen to the interviews, displayed in the order above, below.
