This comprehensive handbook explores global policies and practices related to inclusion and diversity in education, making it essential for educators and policymakers.
This handbook provides a thorough examination of global policies and practices related to inclusion and diversity in education. The SAGE Handbook of Inclusion and Diversity in Education aims to offer a critical and comprehensive overview of contemporary discussions surrounding inclusive education rights, philosophies, and the various contexts in which these ideas are applied. It addresses the importance of inclusive practices and the systems that support them, making it a valuable resource for researchers, policymakers, and educators alike.
Divided into three key parts, the handbook begins with conceptual frameworks that explore the possibilities of inclusion and diversity in educational settings. This foundational section sets the stage for understanding how these concepts can be integrated into educational practices. Following this, the second part delves into specific policies, practices, and systems that promote inclusion and diversity, providing practical insights and examples from various educational contexts.
The final section of The SAGE Handbook of Inclusion and Diversity in Education focuses on the intersection of global and local educational contexts, highlighting the unique challenges and opportunities that arise in different environments. This comprehensive resource is designed to engage a wide audience, ensuring that the discussions around inclusion and diversity resonate with educators, researchers, and policymakers across the globe.
This outstanding collection situates inclusion and diversity in the widest possible contexts: educational, political, ethical and international. This volume is a must-read for all educators hoping to deepen their understanding of the complexities and contradictions of inclusive education.

This important new volume is published at a crucial time with regards to the idea of inclusion in education. It appears during a period when the United Nations 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development is calling for international efforts to promote inclusive and equitable quality education, and lifelong learning opportunities for all. This has brought the issue to the forefront of policy developments in many countries. Directly relevant to this global agenda for change, the chapters set out to take stock of scholarship on diversity and inclusion in education in the first two decades of the 21st century, and to look forward to future trends and new directions. In so doing, it draws on a remarkable range of sources from around the world. It also includes chapters that are written from an impressive range of perspectives. I suspect that this handbook will be a major source of stimulation to many of us who are concerned with this crucial agenda.

This book is far from apolitical, and much more than a handbook. It presents high quality research by a vast array of authors, as well as in-depth critiques of the policies and systems that exist around the world to include, and exclude, individuals and groups of people based on disability, gender, ethnicity, and sexuality. The book carefully draws from a range of expertise. There is much to be gained from reading of practices in other countries and societies, as well as critiquing the way in which we all view diversity and inclusion within our own experiences, paradigms, and frames of reference. -- Harriet A
