Abstract Details

2023, Doctor of Philosophy, University of Toledo, Foundations of Education.
This study is an educational biography about Lawrence A. Cremin (1925-1990). Archival research and an oral history provided data that formulated the study’s findings. The study utilized data collected from Cremin’s personal journal in conjunction with other sources, and a theoretical framework where leadership is understood as an inclusive process, to make interpretations about his career in higher education. Study findings illuminated his thoughts and practices about leadership throughout his over 40-year career at Teachers College in New Yor City. The study first analyzed his formal leadership position in a United States Army Air Corps cadet training program during World War II. The study transitioned to explore how he conceptualized leadership when working as a new faculty member after he joined Teachers College in 1949. The study highlighted his changing thoughts about leadership after becoming a chair for the Department of Social and Philosophical Foundations of Education in 1958. Study findings culminated with lucidity that Cremin, when serving in the Teachers College presidency from 1974 to 1984, determined his leadership style centered on holding and exercising power.
