Exploring the manufacture of inability

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Despite a plethora of literature on special and inclusive education world-wide, governments are still unsure of the reasons for this sector's expansion in their national education systems. Professor Tomlinson applies critical sociological perspectives to the social processes, policies and practices which comprise special and inclusive education, clearly examines the way in which people or groups exercise power and influence to shape this area of education, and discusses the conflicts of interest which arise in resulting social interactions and relationships. Specifically focussing on developments in the UK and USA, this book will be of interest to anyone studying inclusive education.
