Andrew Hargreaves (13 February 1951) is the Thomas More Brennan Chair in Education at the Lynch School of Education at Boston College. The mission of the Chair is to promote social justice and connect theory and practice in education. Andy Hargreaves's teaching and research at Boston College concentrates on sustainable leadership, professional learning communities, educational change and the emotions of teaching.

Andy Hargreaves grew up in a working class community in the small Lancashire textile and engineering town of Accrington in England – famous for its legendary football club, Accrington Stanley. Andy went to school at Spring Hill Primary School where the teacher in his last year, Mary Hindle, was one of his greatest sources of inspiration to become an educator. The youngest of three brothers, Andy was the first in his extended family history to move on to higher education – studying sociology at Sheffield University.

Professor Hargreaves qualified for and went on to teach primary school before studying for (and some years later) completing his Ph.D. thesis in Sociology at the University of Leeds in England. He then lectured in a number of English universities including Oxford until in 1987 he moved to the Ontario Institute for Studies in Education in Canada, where he co-founded and directed the International Center for Educational Change. From 2000-2002, he was also Professor of Educational Leadership and Change at the University of Nottingham in England.

Professor Hargreaves has authored or edited more than 25 books which have been translated into a dozen languages. Andy Hargreaves’ book Teaching In The Knowledge Society: Education in the Age of Insecurity, is published by Teachers’ College Press and Open University Press and has received the Choice Outstanding Book Award from the American Libraries Association for Teaching and the American Educational Research Association Division B Outstanding Book Award. His new book with Dean Fink Sustainable Leadership is published by JosseyBass/Wiley.

Andy now lives close to Boston, Massachusetts with his wife Pauline who is also an educator. They have a son, who lives in Toronto and is completing his PhD in law, and a daughter who also lives in Toronto and works for the Ontario government.
