About this title

From the Back Cover

"Foundations of Inclusive Education Research is an important and timely book. Substantively, its chapters illuminate the critical scholarship of key thinkers and activists whose work has informed and motivated what editors Scot Danforth and Phyllis Jones call "the inclusive turn," the historic shift over the past three decades from resolute faith in special education to a dogged, worldwide quest for a broadly democratic and ethical form of inclusive education. It is timely because, by retracing and reappropriating this braided line of critical empirical analysis and normative theorizing, Foundations of Inclusive Education Research serves as a diagnostic and moral resource to help steer the evolving professional and political cause of inclusive education toward genuine social transformation of classrooms, schools and communities." – Tom Skyrtic, Williamson Family Distinguished Professor of Special Education, University of Kansas
