Re‐Imagining Inclusive and Compassionate Futures
Taken‐for‐granted societal capitalist bureaucracy whereby narrow definitions of human value are accepted without question or critique risks devaluing the embodiment of disability, and eroding attempts to build a caring and compassionate society. This article, written by two disabled academics, describes empirical data collected with eight disabled people and allies across two focus groups, in which we discussed how compassion, when viewed from a …
Multigrade teaching and learning
This paper offers an engagement, through an inclusive education lens, with the theoretical frameworks and concepts used in multigrade teaching and learning. With the aim of developing and extending thinking about pedagogies in diverse education settings, it employs a scoping literature review to identify and examine the various conceptual frameworks which underpin thinking about and practice within multigrade classrooms. It is argued that close s…
Pedagogy of empowerment
What is more important in education than inclusion? In this present paper we argue that inclusion must be the starting point in the design of education. We focus on how all students can be included in the process of learning in formal education settings. We theoretically explore (a) whether applying a self-directed learning framework in education can enable co-produced pedagogic spaces, and then (b) the potential for self-directed co-produced ped…
Walking-creating for fostering teachers’ education in peripheral coastal communities
Walking-creating was adopted to probe orientations towards communities, while early career teachers were on clinical placement in the remote South West Peninsular of England. The aim of carrying out walking-creating events was to elicit whether and if so, the extent to which, early career teachers were sensitive to the communities where they had been placed and hence had begun to question deficit discourses tending to adhere to peripheral landsca…
Educator views regarding young people’s aspirations in peripheral coastal communities in England
In this paper, we deploy data collected through a Q study with educators in south-west England. The mixed methodology involved the two stages of forced choice statement sorting by educator participants and subsequent factor analysis. Through abductive analyses, four views regarding aspirations and young people in peripheral communities are identified. Of these, only one viewpoint, named ‘acknowledge the barriers to finding employment’, aligns wit…
Breaks in the chain
In England, Pupil Premium Plus is additional funding to help address the educational attainment gap experienced by looked after children. This paper explores the experiences of virtual school heads and designated teachers (n = 140) as they access Pupil Premium Plus-related information, guidance and training to support their practice; navigate the complexities of the Personal Education Plan (PEP) process; and measure the impact of Pupil Premium Pl…
Disabled People’s Experiences of the Coronavirus Pandemic
The Coronavirus pandemic has caused significant disruption and change in most aspects of society, and there are concerns that disabled people may be particularly disadvantaged. This article, written by disabled activists and non‐disabled allies, shares data extrapolated from focus groups regarding the lived experiences of twelve disabled people and disability allies during the Covid‐19 pandemic, eleven of whom were based in the UK, and one based …
Misfitting and social practice theory
This paper applies social practice theories, which focus on the pattern of everyday activities, such as studying at university or playing music. Some theorists analyse practices by looking at the different elements from which they are formed, and that has helped us to gain insights into how disabled people can get included and excluded from ordinary activities. We focus firstly on common strategies for adjusting practices, namely providing anothe…
Effectual exchange
Being a Disabled Patient
Accessing hospital care and being a patient is a highly individualised process, but it is also dependent on the culture and practices of the hospital and the staff who run it. Each hospital usually has a standard way of ‘doing things’, and a lack of flexibility in this may mean that there are challenges in effectively responding to the needs of disabled people who require ‘reasonably adjusted’ care. Based on qualitative stories told by disabled p…
Value co-creation
Expertise and Entrepreneurship
Recently there is a move to study entrepreneurship as expertise: a set of skills, models, and processes that can be acquired with time and deliberate practice. Effectual reasoning, or expert entrepreneurial reasoning, however, does not begin with a specific goal. Instead, it begins with a given set of means and allows goals to emerge contingently over time from the varied imagination and diverse aspirations of the founders and the people they int…
Like WTO, Why not WCO
As the effect of globalization has been to increase the level of language contact between speakers of different languages, English becomes to stand out as the leading world language as people express their need for a common tongue. However, this paper objects to English as a world language. In addition, this paper is against any ocher natural languages as well as multilingualism. Instead, this paper claims that the adoption of an artificial or "p…
