So often, discussions about inclusion seem to narrow down solely to the needs of those requiring special support. This book demonstrates that inclusion is, above all, a culture—one that we all have the power either to foster or to hinder. It gave me many ideas for my upcoming lectures on gender diversity. From now on, I will begin my lectures with Gandhi's words: "No culture can live, if it attempts to be exclusive."
I enjoyed it and found it very interesting, especially for the breadth of topics considered. The book is structured extremely well and helpfully; questions are posed, dilemmas considered and relevant research described in an accessible and thought provoking way. I can imagine that it will be useful to many people working in educational and health care settings, both as a resource and as an aid for developing learning events.
"Dr. Chandrika Devarkonda’s new book is an absolute gem. As a trainee early years college teacher, I found it incredibly easy to understand and apply in real-life teaching. The way she explains concepts of inclusion and diversity is both clear and practical, and I especially loved the “Wheel of Inclusion,” which really helped me expand my thinking.
