The Oxford Encyclopedia of Inclusive and Special Education

The Oxford Encyclopedia of Inclusive and Special Education

The Oxford Encyclopedia of Inclusive and Special Education gathers researchers and practitioners from around the globe to explore a wide range of topics at the nexus of inclusive and special schooling. Uniquely, the Encyclopedia addresses topics related to both special and inclusive education in a single collection. This approach makes the volume particularly relevant to contemporary researchers, as special and inclusive education are inextricably linked, and lessons learned in one domain have significant implications for the other. The project brings a fresh perspective insofar as it is organized around the assumption that scholars around the world can learn a great deal from colleagues who work in economically poor nations, and whose voices and experiences have often been missing from the field. All of the articles also appear online as part of the Oxford Research Encyclopedia of Education.
