DESCRIPTION:This presentation provides an overview of a long-term programm
 e in developing a humanities-based and humanistic approach to educational 
 administration and leadership.  This ranges from unconscious (what Kets de
  Vries calls the ‘inner theatre’) and existential levels of experience
 \, through the interpersonal and organisational dimensions in which passiv
 e evil\, toxic leadership and covert administration take place\, to larger
  scale studies of international and comparative education.  This includes 
 the most recent work in Islamic ethics for administration\, alongside soci
 etal and cultural security issues that arise from globalised higher educat
 ion.\n\n*Dr. Eugenie A. Samier* is Associate Professor of Educational Admi
 nistration and Leadership at the British University in Dubai\, United Arab
  Emirates.  She is editor of and contributor to a number of books with Rou
 tledge on Ethics\, Aesthetics\, Politics\, Emotions\, and Trust and Betray
 al\, and is author of the recently released _Secrecy and Tradecraft in Edu
 cational Administration: The Covert Side of Educational Life_ (Routledge).
   She has also contributed to a number of handbooks in the field and a num
 ber of journals internationally\, and has been guest lecturer at universit
 ies in Canada\, Germany\, Russia\, Estonia\, Finland\, Lithuania\, Norway\
