Reading stories of inclusion: Engaging with different
perspectives towards an agenda for inclusion (2009)
by
Dr Andrew Azzopardi
Product Description
In writing this work I have tried to get beneath the clichés of disability
metaphors to
reveal the social constructions surrounding this theme. In this research, I
have
sought to understand ‘inclusion within the various experiences I am engaged
with in
my professional and academic responsibilities. Being an ocular-centred
community,
we need to ‘see’ what is happening and to read stories that are close to the
reality
we are succumbed in. These are stories that transcend from the people to the
people, rather than from the researchers/academics to researchers/academics.
That
is why this work becomes the process of not only identifying the complex
dynamics
and snags surrounding the ‘inclusion’ agenda I am engrossed in, but also
maps out a
way to get back on trail and to come up with the answers.
