Education and Disability in the Global South: New Perspectives from Africa and A

Description: Education and Disability in the Global South by Nidhi Singal, Paul Lynch, Shruti Taneja Johansson Education and Disability in the Global South brings together new and established researchers from a variety of disciplines to explore the complexities and dilemmas encountered in providing education to children and young people with disabilities in countries in South Asia and Africa.Applying a range of methodological, theoretical and conceptual frameworks across different levels of education systems, from pre-school to higher education, the contributors examine not just the barriers but also the opportunities within the educational systems, in order to make strong policy recommendations.Together, the chapters offer a comprehensive overview of a range of issues, including a nuanced appreciation of the tensions between the local and global in relation to key developments in the field, critiquing a globalized notion of inclusive education, as well as proposing new methodological advancements in taking the research agenda forward. Empirical insights are captured not just from the perspectives of educators but also through engaging with children and young people with disabilities, who are uniquely powerful in providing insights for future developments.

Conclusion, Paul Lynch, Shruti Taneja Johansson and Nidhi SingaLIndex Review This collection is an important contribution to disability studies in the Global South and to the literature on inclusive education. * H-Net Reviews *Bringing together disability scholars from the fields of education, psychology and epidemiology, this book poses powerful questions about the validity of using concepts and models devised in the resource rich and epistemologically dominant Global North to understand the construction of disability in the Global South. * Journal of Human Development and Capabilities *A must-read book for researchers, practitioners and students keen to expand their understanding of past and current developments in the provision of quality education for young people with disabilities. With a focus on South Asia and Africa, this inter-disciplinary collection of essays and case studies offers fascinating and critical insight into the changing landscape of research in the field of education and disability. Ranging from global to local, this inquiring collection not only explores key conceptual and methodological challenges, but also highlights real opportunities for change, bringing to the fore the perspectives of teachers and young people. In doing so, this book provides an important counterbalance to deficit approaches to research, policy and programming. * Catherine M. Jere, Lecturer in Education and International Development, University of East Anglia, United Kingdom and Visiting Fellow, Chancellor College, University of Malawi, Malawi *A focus on, and perspective from the Global South is long overdue, and this volume is a timely introjection into the global conversations about education and disability. The authors harness diverse theoretical and methodological tools to tackle the complexity of educational contexts in which the local and the global are imbricated. Education and Disability in the Global South is a landmark publication which I expect will shift the field and create possibilities for new directions in theory and research. * Elizabeth Walton, Associate Professor in Special and Inclusive Education, University of Nottingham, UK and Visiting Associate Professor, University of the Witwatersrand, South Africa *The book title promises new perspectives and succeeds: it shows how education of children with disabilities is part of the global education development. The fifteen chapters from diverse contexts clearly highlight the possibilities and encourage learning across contexts. The edited volume invites further empirical evidence, contributions, critical discussions and debates on education of children and youth with disabilities especially from the Southern contexts. My expectation (not hope!) is that this book will guide education development and advise those responsible for decisions, implementing quality education for all and monitoring progress globally as well as locally. * Elina Lehtomäki, Professor, Global Education, University of Oulu, Finland *This book explores the debating policies, the diverse range of stakeholders cross-cultural perspectives and practices of inclusive education through various contextual and geographical groundings. It reflects a research-based practical set of tools, ideas of global diversity and inclusion and strategies for intervention that contribute to the advancement of knowledge. The volume is an invaluable reference for policy makers, practitioners, academics, researchers and students. * Sandhya Limaye, Associate Professor, Center for Disability Studies and Action, Tata Institute of Social Sciences, India * Promotional A critical overview of the complexities of providing meaningful education for all children and young people with disabilities in the Global South.
