The recent publication of Gallardo鈥檚 Leading Change: Heart, Head, Hands will be reviewed where he will explore the crossroads we face in education: domination and control, focusing on systems built on compliance, efficiency, and standardization that reinforce hierarchies of power; and solidarity and care, a vision of education that nurtures creativity, agency, and human connection.

His most recent work, The Meanings That Keep Us Going in a Challenging Profession, published in the Jesuit Education Quarterly, brings the South American, Chilean perspective to teacher meaning, belief, and professionalism.
