Biography

Robert J. Starratt is Emeritus Professor of Education at The Lynch School of Education, Boston College, USA.

'Robert J. Starratt's writing is the single-most important body of work by any living scholar on the subject of leadership ethics and responsibility in education. Starratt is original, authentic and inspirational. If you want to become better as a leader and a human being, start right here.' - Andy Hargreaves, Brennan Chair in Education, Boston College 

'Starratt's intellectual autobiography demonstrates not only his own evolution as a scholar but how (or perhaps, whether) our field as a whole has demonstrated a "recycling of interacting core concerns." The changes, dilemmas, and contradictions he identifies in his own intellectual development and quests, present important concerns for our professional community's care, critique, and justice.' - Gary Crow, Professor in the Department of Educational Leadership and Policy Studies, Indiana University
