The RoutledgeFalmer Reader in Inclusive Education What is ‘Inclusion’? This invaluable text draws together an impressive and wide-ranging selection of articles on inclusion to bring clarity and lucidity to a complex subject. While the majority of texts deal with inclusive education within narrow parameters, this book aims to extend our understanding of inclusion by connecting issues of race, social disadvantage, gender and other factors. It successfully integrates rigorous theorising and sound empirical research with clear, accessible and practical guidance for professionals. The book has 18 chapters divided into key areas such as: ● ● ● ● ● ● concepts and contexts gender, race, disability, poverty and social class exclusion from school action in school inclusion post-school promoting and managing systematic change. Each chapter ends with questions and issues for reflection. The book also includes an annotated list of further reading. It is designed to encourage readers to conduct their own research. This is an important and useful text for practitioner, postgraduate students, researchers, academics and policy-makers in education.
