Joseph Blase is a professor of educational leadership at the University of Georgia. Since receiving his PhD in 1980 from Syracuse University, his research has focused on understanding the work lives of teachers. He has published many studies in the areas of teacher stress, relationships between personal and professional lives, teacher socialization, principal-teacher relationships (his current project centers on the micropolitics of fear), and shared governance leadership. His work concentrating on school-level micropolitics received the 1988 Davis Memorial Award given by the University Council for Educational Administration, and in 1999 he was recognized by the American Educational Research Association as an elite scholar, one of the 50 most productive and influential scholars of educational administration in the world.
