What’s the difference between inclusive education and education for social justice?
In this inaugural joint Forum, researchers from The Centre for Inclusive Education and Teachers and Teaching Research Group come together to discuss dangerous dilemmas concerning understandings of education for social justice and inclusive education. Presenters wrestle with questions around equal opportunity and who to include, the importance of language, avoiding the assimilatory dangers of inclusion, balancing rights, and the implications for curriculum, pedagogy and the structures of schooling.
