The groundbreaking book "Global Directions in Inclusive Education" pushes the boundaries of 'inclusive education' and explores innovative approaches to researching and envisioning inclusion and diversity in education for all children. This pioneering work challenges the notion of 'inclusive education' as a global currency, a form of deficit-thinking, and a universal application. The expert team of international contributors argues that much of the field of inclusive education needs a revitalization of fresh ideas, critical introspection, and ways of knowing that can transcend the well-trodden paths of inclusive education research, such as barriers to inclusion, teacher attitudes, policy-practice gaps, lack of resources, and lack of teacher training. In search of diverse pathways forward that showcase new visions and innovations from around the world, this text features voices and ideas from both early career and established scholars, aimed at enlivening debate and fostering a more positive and productive dialogue.

"Global Directions in Inclusive Education" is an invaluable resource for students, researchers, and scholars of inclusive education, as well as development practitioners seeking new ideas. It provides a deeper and more global understanding of inclusive education, both in theory and in practice. The book offers valuable insights and perspectives that will contribute to the ongoing discussions and efforts towards creating more inclusive and equitable educational systems for all children.
