ELLTA is about Leadership and Learning in Asia. Its core purpose is to explore, recognize, strengthen, and promote theories in Asia in the broader domain of leadership and learning. It responds to the need to examine/ challenge generalizations related to learning and leadership across cultures and geographical boundaries, between East and West, but of course also between Eastern contexts.

The core questions that ELLTA is concerned about are:

• Are the west-inspired theories on leadership and learning relevant for Asia in general and different contexts in Asia in particular?
• Is there a need to develop theories specific for Asia in general and different contexts in Asia in particular?
• Are there existing theories on leadership and learning with an Asian origin, which have not received much attention or have not been acknowledged so far?
