Perspectives on Participation and Inclusiondraws on the research and scholarship of academics working in the field of Education Studies. The writers are concerned with enduring yet contemporary themes: making education engaging and vital for both learners and educators, and achieving wider participation and more effective and meaningful inclusion for all.

- The book draws on philosophical ideas and educational theories, practical examples and case studies in a wide variety of educational settings and styles.

- Through the medium of brief 'edu-autobiography', each chapter is situated in the context of the author's life as an educator, appealing to readers to consider ways in which the ideas and examples discussed could be pertinent to their own life or work in education.

- Includes sections on voice and empowerment, critical and alternative perspectives on inclusion in education, and practical approaches to widening participation.

- Authors discuss ideas such as 'otherness' and 'voice', freedom, belonging and well-being in education and the relational nature of learning.

Perspectives on Participation and Inclusionis a key text for Education Studies students. In addressing fundamental questions in education, the audience will encompass school practitioners, student teachers and lecturers in further and higher education. This book will also be of interest to students and professionals in fields such as childhood studies and youth and community studies.

Recenzii

'Offers a unique collection of current educational topics on the theme of inclusion...[Engages] in the critical analysis of a wide range of those concepts which are often taken for granted, making it an ideal text for honours and masters Education Studies students.' Stephen Ward, Professor of Education and Dean of the School of Education, Bath Spa University, UK
'This book would be useful and of interest to students on Education Studies programme, both undergraduate and postgraduate, and also students and professionals working in childhood studies, or in youth and community studies. It is a collection of accounts by different authors, all involved in some way in developments in the field of Education Studies. However, this book does more than merely give an account of particular policies or how they impact upon the field of education as a whole. It engages the reader with the theory and offers them a critical angle from which they can explore this extensive field (education) as a theory and practice. Overall, this is an interesting collection of papers that would equip education studies students with a rounded basic knowledge of different issues and perspectives on participation and inclusion.' The Higher Education Academy, November 2009
