Radical inclusive education: disability, teaching and struggles for liberation

Abstract

This book brings together the radical pedagogy of Paolo Freire and the principles of inclu-
\nsive education, exploring ways in which the two can be combined and translated into
\n
\npractice. In this regard, Radical Inclusive Education can be seen as continuing on the work
\nof other authors who have combined Freirean pedagogy with inclusive education, such as
\nGause’s (2011) book on addressing diversity and achieving equity in inclusive education,
\nand Gibson’s (2006) article using Freire’s concept of the ‘culture of silence’ to discuss ways
\nin which inclusive education can enable disabled children to fnd and use their own voice.
