In this paper, servant leadership and critical pedagogy are amalgamated to explore how aspirations for a greater measure of social justice may be addressed within higher education.

This conceptual framework could serve as a guide for teachers who might want to address some of the social purposes of higher education by drawing both on a service-oriented and altruistic educational theory and leadership style
