The datafication of discipline
This paper critically examines the ways in which ClassDojo is altering the disciplinary landscape in schools through the datafication of discipline and student behaviour. ClassDojo is one of the most popular and successful educational technologies and is used internationally. It is a school-based social media platform that incorporates a gamified behaviour-shaping function, providing school communities with a centralised digital network in which …
A critical consideration of the changing conditions of schooling for students with disabilities in Greece and the fragility of international in local contexts
The Salamanca Statement is held as a high-water mark in the history of the global development of inclusive education. It represented agreements bringing together representatives from 92 governments and 25 international organisations to advocate for a more inclusive education for students with disabilities. Since 1994 the Salamanca Statement has been referred to by international education organisations, national education jurisdictions, and disabi…
Belonging in an age of exclusion
The struggle to achieve a condition of belonging in education by and for children with disabilities exposes the deep structure of social exclusion that is represented in and reproduced by schooling. Seeking inclusive education is undermined by a range of factors including the appropriation of the discourse inclusion by deeply conservative forces committed to sustaining exclusion and the ethic of competitive individualism that is the engine for ed…
Inclusive Education isn’t Dead, it Just Smells Funny
Positing inclusive education as a cornerstone of democracy, social equality and effective education, this unique book offers a timely response to the recent conservative backlash which has dismissed inclusive education as a field of research and practice which has become outdated and unfit for purpose. With profound insight and clarity, Slee delves deep into the architecture of modern-day schooling to show how inclusive education has been misappr…
Discourses of Inclusion and Exclusion
Drawing upon the work of Richard Sennett and Zygmunt Bauman, this article examines the ubiquity of exclusion as a prelude to interrogating paradoxes in the deployment of discourses and practices of inclusive education, arguing that the ethic of competitive individualism that drives the formation of education policies and practices subverts aspirations for inclusive education. Moreover, it is argued that inclusive education provides a means for ma…
Establishing the foundations for an inclusive education system in Iraq
This paper reports a national study on the prevalence of childhood disability designed to inform initiatives promoting improved school attendance by children with disabilities in Iraq. The study was commissioned by UNICEF, coordinated by the Council for Assisting Refugee Academics, and designed by academics in the UK in consultation with Iraqi academics and professionals. The mixed methods study included a major household survey, semi-structured …
How do we make inclusive education happen when exclusion is a political predisposition
Convening a conference under the banner: Making Inclusion Happen, reminds us that the struggle for disabled people's rights to the minimum expectations of citizenship; access to education, work, housing, health care, civic connection remains urgent. Notwithstanding the hard fought for United Nations, human rights charters and national legislation around the world, declaring legal commitment to rid ourselves of discrimination on the grounds of dis…
The Irregular School
Should disabled students be in regular classrooms all of the time or some of the time? Is the regular school or the special school or both the solution for educating students with a wide range of differences? Inclusive education has been incorporated in government education policy around the world. Key international organisations such as UNESCO and OECD declare their commitment to Education for All and the principles and practice of inclusive edu…

Revisiting the politics of special educational needs and disability studies in education with Len Barton
This brief essay celebrates the work of Len Barton. Drawing from a range of his texts, interviews and presentations, the essay attempts to demonstrate the importance of Barton’s work in establishing foundations for the related fields of disability studies in education and inclusive education by revealing the politics of special educational needs and the requirement for a sociological analysis of traditional special education as a force for the di…

Beyond special and regular schooling? An inclusive education reform agenda
Following Edward Said’s (2001) observations on traveling theories this paper considers the origins of inclusive education as a field of education research and policy that is in jeopardy of being undermined by its broadening popularity, institutional adoption and subsequent adaptations. Schools were not an invention for all and subsequently the struggle with demands for broadening participation is more profound than is widely acknowledged. The ins…

An Illusory Interiority
It is generally accepted that the notion of inclusion derived or evolved from the practices of mainstreaming or integrating students with disabilities into regular schools. Halting the practice of segregating children with disabilities was a progressive social movement. The value of this achievement is not in dispute. However, our charter as scholars and cultural vigilantes () is to always look for how we can improve things; to avoid stasis and c…
Limits to and possibilities for educational reform
Commencing with a restatement of the objectives of the first International Inclusive Education Colloquium at the University of Newcastle‐upon‐Tyne, this article considers whether inclusive education has taken up the challenges issued at that time and considered the weighty challenge to special education by this emergent political imperative. Utilizing J. K. Galbraith’s notion of innocent fraud, this brief essay advances the proposition that the p…
Robbing public to pay private? Two cases of refinancing education infrastructure in Australia
This paper will explore private sector participation in public sector education in the Australian context, focusing on case studies of Queensland and New South Wales, with reference to developments in other states and territories and internationally. In Australia, most states and territories have PPP policies and key projects include the Southbank redevelopment in Brisbane and the ‘New schools’ Project in Sydney. The case studies are both support…

'Inclusion in Practice'
Four sets of issues raised in the papers published in this special issue of 'Educational Review' are discussed. First problems surrounding the use of the term inclusion are sketched. Secondly, the tendency of writers to resort to reductionism is examined: can the constricting of inclusive education to a traditional special educational framework and the disconnecting of inclusive education policy from the broader educational policy context be avoi…
Social justice and the changing directions in educational research
Inclusive education has established itself as an important element within the general field of educational research. While the increasing attention to social inclusion is apparently consistent with the general aspiration for social justice, this paper reasserts the fragility of inclusive education as a vehicle for arguing against traditional notions of special educational needs in favour of educational disablement as identity politics. It is impo…
Excluding the included
This article examines how the development of inclusive education policies has been constrained by the adhesion of traditional regular and special education imperatives. The fragmentation of educational policy-making presses us towards exclusion; and the protection of professional interests reinforces individual pathologies and creates further exclusionary pressures. The authors contend that inclusive education is not a linear progression from 'sp…
Bringing universities to account? Exploring some global and local policy tensions
Increased accountability is at the centre of widespread educational reforms which feature the rhetoric of deregulation in many countries across the globe. Not only have educational systems, institutions and practitioners been required to be more accountable, but arguably the nature of accountability has also changed from professional and democratic to managerial and market forms. In particular, within the hegemonic discourses of the market ideolo…
Competition, selection and inclusive education
This paper seeks toprovide an introduction tothe complex matrix of issues tobe considered by the papers in this Special Issue. The focus is placed upon the contradictory educational policy imperatives of ‘competition’ and ‘selection’ on the one hand, and ‘inclusive education’ on the other. At the core of this discussion lies a rejection of the belief in the operation of market forces as the optimal instrument for planning educational provision. R…

Higher Education Work in the Reductionist Age
This article examines the impact of reductionist discourses of the market upon the management and delivery of teacher education. The author draws on observations of the delivery of both in England and Wales and in Australia. Of particular concern is the drive towards academic uniformity through manufactured panics about educational standards and effectiveness and the risk that such policy imperatives imply for inclusive education. The politics of…
Inclusive Education? This Must Signify ‘New Times’ in Educational Research
This paper argues that much of the growing body of research (on special educational needs) that claims to address inclusion for disabled students is not new, but rather a re-articulation of old ideas which fail to do sufficient justice to the demands of the ‘new times’ The paper concludes with an outline of a research agenda that is more comprehensive in scope and more finely tuned into the politics of ‘identity’

Finding a Student Voice in School Reform
This paper explores the nature and impact of state interventions into student behaviour in schools. Of particular concern is the maintenance of behaviourist analyses and practices within a changing rubric of impaired student pathology. The invention of Attention Deficit Disorder Syndrome is convenient to education departments struggling to maintain failing students who in previous times were jettisoned from schools into the unskilled labour marke…

Imported or Important Theory? Sociological interrogations of disablement and special education
Drawing from sociologies of disablement this discussion affirms the importance of such theorising for identifying the epistemological basis, and therefore the implications for policy and practice, of special education. The discussion is both timely and necessary as professional resilience reinvents special education as consistent with inclusive education. This has been achieved through linguistic adjustments which eschew challenges to underlying …

The Politics of Integration—new Sites for Old Practices
Public education authorities throughout the Australian States and Territories have moved towards the development of policies and programmes to integrate students considered disabled into regular classrooms. The implementation of policy frequently is reduced to disputation over resources which, it is argued, will facilitate integration. This paper contends that such debates sustain the flawed notion that integration is simply a technical issue to …
