Disabled students are capable of learning and growing equally to normal students, therefore the educational infrastructure of many developed countries is inclined towards an inclusive educational system. However, such students, unfortunately, are not treated well in developing countries where teachers' attitudes are a key hindrance to an inclusive…

In this article, I examine inclusion, disability, image making, and representation through case studies in a high school setting. K-12 school settings often focus on student deficits; however, the theories of disability studies provide a critical model for understanding language, disability, and enabling structures that move away from deficit…

Modern concepts of education development, recognition of the uniqueness and self-worth of human individuality have led to the search for ways to socialize individuals with disabilities, to the development of new pedagogical strategies aimed at developing ideas of independent life for this category of the population. The…

In the last year a new virus (SARS-CoV-2) and the disease caused by it (COVID-19) has quickly spread around the world, leading the World Health Organization to declare a public health emergency and, then, a global pandemic status. The strategies adopted by many countries to reduce the impact of the pandemic were mainly based on social distancing…

In this contribution, we seek to problematise not just mathematics and (global) citizenship but also the process of researching with a critical intent. We argue for a disorderly approach and use researching our participation in a European funded project -- the Project in Citizenship and Mathematics ("PiCaM") -- as an illustration of the…

Inclusive higher education policy has been central to global educational debates for many years. National and international higher education institutions face challenges related to providing equal access and guaranteeing active participation of all students in higher education. Although greater efforts have been dedicated to the issue of inclusion…

The inclusion of students with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is increasing, but there have been no longitudinal studies of included students in Australia. Interview data reported in this study concern primary school children with ASD enrolled in mainstream classes in South Australia and New South Wales, Australia. In order to examine perceived…

Findings are presented from a thematic analysis of five semi-structured interviews with adults who self-identify as kinky. Participants reported self-censorship as a risk-management strategy to avoid encountering (i) social stigma, (ii)…

In Australia, a new system of collecting data on school-aged students with disability is in the early phases of implementation. The "nationally consistent collection of data on school-age students with disability" (NCCD) establishes a mandatory data collection process in which teachers categorise and report on individual students' level…

Drawing upon Heron and Reason's (1997) participatory inquiry paradigm and extended epistemology, this article explores how six Master of Social Work (MSW) students engaged in sensory arts-based critical reflection concerning their social location, identities, social justice, and social policy. We share our process for creating sensory arts-based…

The current work employs the use of multiple lenses to illuminate the integral role of the Educational Assistant (EA) in a Canadian school district's transition from a segregated to inclusive service delivery model for students with special needs. Often compatible, but also distinctive viewpoints and understandings shape the role of EA in this…

Although human talent is essential to achieve social and organizational development with a sustainable focus, its definition and features remain unclear considering humanity's current challenges and the transformation towards the knowledge society.

The Irish religious landscape is changing. Census data reveal that the percentage of those who identify as Catholic is in steady decline, while the proportion of those with no religion continues to rise. Christian religious practice in Ireland is also decreasing, especially among young people. Catholic schools, once the dominant provider of second…

During the pandemic many museums and galleries pivoted from onsite, in-person delivery to develop a remote offer and to create digital learning resources and activity packs for children and young people. In this article, I draw upon my experience as practitioner researcher on the schools and teachers' programme at the Fitzwilliam Museum to…

Research around learning community models often shows a structured and defined model to follow with the underlying assumption being if the steps are followed, the results will come. The model we offer in this paper is rather counter-cultural as it was not a specific process or practice we followed; rather, we found ourselves in a highly engaging,…
