NEW 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. About the Author Dr. Andrew Azzopardi is a Lecturer with the Department of Youth & Community Studies at the University of Malta. His lecturing focuses on sociology, critical pedagogy, disability politics, inclusive & multicultural education, community management, youth & community studies. He is currently coordinating a Masters in Inclusive Education & Communities. * Paperback: 296 pages * Publisher: VDM Verlag (April 22, 2009) * Language: English * ISBN-10: 3639141423 * ISBN-13: 978-3639141429 * Product Dimensions: 8.7 x 5.9 x 0.7 inches * Shipping Weight: 1.1 pounds (View shipping rates and policies ________________End of message________________ This Disability-Research Discussion list is managed by the Centre for Disability Studies at the University of Leeds (www.leeds.ac.uk/disability-studies).
