About the editors
Martha García-Murillo is a Professor and the director of a master’s program at the school of information studies where she facilitated a program on leadership for the students in that program, most of whom were international students. The need and success that she had with the program prompted her to write a book on Leadership and Culture geared towards addressing the most pressing needs for our international students. The program is now being expanded to 200 students. She has an M.S. in Economics and a Ph.D. in Political Economy and Public Policy from the University of Southern California.
