I [Don’T] Belong Here: Narrating Inclusion At The Exclusion Of Others, Emily Clark
I [Don’T] Belong Here: Narrating Inclusion At The Exclusion Of Others, Emily Clark
Occasional Paper Series
Borrowing from narrative research and Disability Studies in Education, Emily tells the story of her adoptive siblings Maria and Isaac, who were orphaned by AIDS. She explores the paradox of inclusion which is that it sometimes, if not oftentimes, fails and results in exclusion. A chief reason for the failure of inclusion, Emily argues, is that children with real and perceived differences challenge the “grammar” of schooling—that is, they stand out for their differences.

From Access To Interaction, Daniel Atkins
Occasional Paper Series
Atkins calls on educators to see beyond access to identify “core moments” for child-centered experiential learning in inclusion classrooms.

Doing The Civil Right Thing: Supporting Children With Disabilities In Inclusive Classrooms, David J. Connor, Kristen Goldmansour
Occasional Paper Series
David J. Connor and Kristen Goldmansour explore cotaught inclusion classrooms through the lens of the social justice narrative. They write about the parents who asserted “that it was their children’s civil right to be educated within a diverse classroom, one that truly mirrored the nation’s population.” They critique the alternative to inclusion as “segregation,” which results in “devaluation, a loss in cultural capital for individuals” and argue that cotaught classrooms can upend “artificial notions of ‘normalcy’ that have served to diminish and devalue ‘disabled’ children.”

Front Matter And Introduction, Valentine Burr
Occasional Paper Series
The writers in this issue of Occasional Papers advocate for models of inclusion that support children’s capabilities and challenge systemic inequities based on ableism and cultural biases.
