Diversity and Marginalisation in Childhood is a work of critical inclusive education. It is accessibly written but also demands critical thinking. Hamilton introduces readers to the philosophical and sociological schools upon which much policy and practice is based and encourages, through good use of case study-based tasks, readers to link theory with practice in inclusive education.
This foundational text explores diversity, inclusion, and marginalisation with clarity and depth. Through engaging case studies and reflective exercises, readers are encouraged to question existing policies and practices. The author examines the challenges faced by often-overlooked groups like transgender children and those with mental health conditions, offering practical insights for practitioners. From critiquing inclusive ideologies to analysing media influence, this book equips readers with the tools to empower marginalised communities effectively.
