Equity, Justice, and Transformation in Special and Inclusive Education
Sun, April 12, 7:45 to 9:15am PDT (7:45 to 9:15am PDT), JW Marriott Los Angeles L.A. LIVE, Floor: 2nd Floor, Platinum HSession Type: Paper Session
Abstract
This session explores the intersections of race, language, disability, and justice within evolving frameworks of special and inclusive education. Presenters critically interrogate policies and practices that perpetuate systemic inequities while proposing transformative approaches grounded in disability justice, decolonial theory, and intersectionality. These studies illuminate pathways toward educational systems that are not only inclusive but also structurally and epistemically just for all learners.
