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 are applied to exclusionary practices and pressures in particular educational contexts, and equip readers with varied theoretical or conceptual frameworks through which contested issues around social justice and inclusive education can be acknowledged and analyzed. The book fosters a broad understanding of inclusive education by demonstrating how exclusionary pressures relating to disability, gender, socio-economic status, race and ethnicity, refugee status and sexuality work to trouble or problematize political, professional and policy rhetoric and discourses in which inclusive practices are assumed to be established. The book is of interest to researchers and students interested in intersectionality in inclusive and special education.
