Broadening the notion of participation in inclusive education
a social justice approach
Abstract
Inclusive education is a global movement with different prisms and local angles. In recent years inclusive education has been framed using principles of social justice such as fair redistribution of education, recognition of all cultures, languages, and abilities, and political representation in individual and collective educational decision-making. Our aim in this theoretical paper is to synthesise the most important points of both perspectives (inclusive education and social justice) and to deepen, using an intersectional analysis, how they apply to a foundational concept of inclusive education: participation. Participation is strategic to building fairer educational and social practices and can act as a central core between redistribution, recognition, and representation.
