The inclusion of students with disabilities with special education services into general education classes has been an integral part of education for over 3 decades. It is a worldwide movement that continues to grow. Yet, some Special Education researchers remain highly critical, even cynical, of inclusion, despite decades of research that have…

How do queer disabled students create connections and dream about accessible futures? With our current commitment to surveillance, queer disabled college students find ways to connect without administrative intervention and create ways to resist ableist norms. This manuscript will explore how college students who identify as queer, mad, mentally…

In this article, we investigate the critical intersections of AI, academic integrity, and disability in the context of a large undergraduate course. Our aim was to adapt the course to respond to generative AI (GenAI) to avoid entrenching barriers for students, and instead teach them how to use GenAI tools in ways that deepen their learning and…

In this registered report, we examined interrelationships between established constructs of self-determination and economic hardship using data from the National Longitudinal Transition Study 2012 (NLTS2012). We tested the hypothesized factor structure of selected NLTS2012 items assessing constructs associated with self-determination (i.e.,…

This study explores how high school computer science (CS) course enrollment differs by student background through an intersectional lens. I use statewide data from North Carolina that contains longitudinal student-level background and course-taking information from 2005-2006 to the 2018-2019 school year and estimate linear probability models…

Few qualitative studies have focused on the experiences of neurodivergent graduate students as they pursue graduate and professional degrees, and particularly, how Black women make sense of their race, gender, and ability while preparing for academic careers. This study provides clarity on how their multiply marginalized identities lead them to…

While language education programs were created with an equity stance in mind--with the goals of increasing access and facilitating academic success for ethnically and linguistically marginalized students--the larger educational context has compromised access for multiply marginalized students. Recognizing a need for more complex understandings of…

This book, a follow-up edition to "International Perspectives on Exclusionary Pressures in Education" (Palgrave Macmillan, 2023), presents an overview of inequality and inequity along different dimensions of exclusionary practices in schools and other educational settings. Contributions provide a range of theoretical perspectives which…

In the U.S. education system, students of color experience multiple forms of marginalization at the intersection of markers of difference. These injustices manifest in multiple forms, such as higher rates of inappropriate referrals to special education, misidentification, conferring stigmatizing labels, and subsequently placing students of color…

The aim of inclusive education is to provide a supportive space for students from every background. The theory of intersectionality suggests that multiple identities intersect within social spaces to construct specific positionalities. To support the heterogeneity of all students, there is a need to understand who is in our Science, Technology,…

This book offers critical discussion of developing inclusive theory, practice, and policy that supports the needs and experiences of adult learners within higher education settings in the UK. The first part of the book shares the research of authors, all who have lived experience of their area of expertise, and the experiences and needs of adult…
