Out of time
In this article, I demonstrate the ways in which dis/ability is constructed, produced, and maintained through the temporal regimes of schooling, which require surveilling, disciplining, and regulating children’s bodyminds. This article shows how temporality can expand our analysis of how exclusion occurs and why it is important to consider the entanglements of time and embodiment in how we understand inclusion and exclusion in educational context…

Youth Crip Technoscience
In this paper, we engage with a new theoretical lens to the field of education for youth with disabilities, crip technoscience, and offer three applications of what we describe as youth crip technoscience. Youth crip technoscience asserts that youth with disabilities are makers and co-creators of disability; that disability is a creative, cultural experience for youth beyond accommodation and intervention; and that school and classrooms paces can…
“Established beyond any debate…”
Amid concerns of a global learning crisis, foundational literacy and numeracy (FLN) has become a recent focus area for low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). For instance, in 2021, India launched one of the world’s largest initiatives to achieve universal foundational literacy by 2026–27. Given that the term “foundational literacy” was largely absent from earlier policy discourse in India, little is known about how this idea was made salient t…
Level Ordering and Lexical Phonology of Bangla
This study deals with the different word formation processes in Bangla under the framework of Lexical Phonology and Stratal OT with both descriptive and theoretical goals. The study attempts a) to provide a description of the morphophonemics of Bangla that result from the concatenation of morphemes, b) to use the theory of Lexical Phonology and Morphology (Kiparsky, 1982,1985; Mohanan, 1982) and later developments in Stratal OT (Kiparsky, 2003; B…

Shishur Sevay
This is a case study of Shishur Sevay, an inclusive home and school for orphaned young women in Kolkata, West Bengal presented through the lens of disability rights and civic engagement from two disabled Desi scholars. It contrasts practices in the organization with disability policies in India and examines how emphasis on full inclusion contributes to the young women's experiences of civic engagement. Data were collected through semi-structured …
Neoclassicism in Bangla Word Formation Processes
In this paper, I examine the notion of neoclassical word formation in Bangla and attempt to account for all the morpho-phonological interactions of both neoclassical and native Bangla word formation processes under the framework of Rule-based Phonology. The paper has both descriptive and theoretical goals. Bangla has a vast lexicon and a rich morphological system. The abundance of the classical Sanskrit language entities makes it interesting to e…
Learning for all? Ableism, education policy, and the 'global learning crisis' in India
Large-scale assessments reveal the ‘global learning crisis’. Yet, many children with disabilities are excluded from such assessments. The global learning crisis is critiqued for narrowing the educational landscape. Drawing on concepts of ableism and the DisHuman child, this paper sets out to examine ableism within education policy by explicating the assumptions of normativity and how boundaries between the normal and the ‘aberrant’ are preserved …
Inclusion and social justice in neoliberal India
A provision of India’s Right to Education Act requires private schools to enrol 25% of children from ‘disadvantaged’ and ‘economically weaker’ backgrounds. Described as a unique public-private partnership, this policy has been widely debated for its promotion of private actors in ensuring equity and access to education. Within this controversial policy field is the increasing involvement of non-governmental organisations (NGOs) that aim to reform…
Intelligence is not just good grades’
The present study examines how middle school students attending private schools in a major urban centre in India understand intelligence. The study focuses on mindset theory, which is a major framework in the literature on children’s understandings of intelligence. Mindset theories distinguish individuals based on beliefs about the malleability of personal characteristics. The present study used a mixed-methods approach to study mindsets and conc…

Good morning, Twitter! What are you doing today to support the voice of people with #disability
Understanding Twitter by individuals and organizations to raise awareness and give voice to the disability community provides important insight into digital discourse around disability. This study examines #disability tweets shared during National Disability Employment Awareness Month in October 2018. Sourced and cleaned, English language tweets (n = 12,963) were analyzed through a mixed-methods approach. As the title of this paper, a tweet from …
