Abstract: This pilot study explores educational leadership identities and perspectives amongst a group of international graduate students in a Master of Educational Leadership program. It engages collage as a methodology with a goal to challenge normative notions of educational leadership. Analysis of the collages reveals that while hierarchical structures are present within them, a strong sense of shelter, hope, care, empathy, and love emerge. Educational leadership is humanized and conceptualized as a form of heart work in opposition to limiting colonial/western notions. Collage creation is proposed as a means of exploring new forms and possibilities for understanding and teaching educational leadership.
