SJIE’s Melanie Nind and Sarah Parsons are joining Jane Seale, formerly of the group, to guest edit a special issue of International Journal of Research & Method in Education. The theme of the special issue is Understandings and Enactments of Inclusive Research: Progress and sticking points in developing participatory and emancipatory research in the field of education. We are using inclusive research here as an umbrella term for research which might also be defined as emancipatory, peer-led or user-centred, involving participatory methods or participatory design. We are looking for submitting authors to advance and challenge research of this kind – to discuss the messy detail in the reality rather than the well-rehearsed rhetoric. There has more published about inclusive research, and using inclusive approaches, in fields other than education, so we particularly welcome papers that join up inclusive research and inclusive education. As well as usual length academic papers we will short papers co-/written with/by lay people (teachers, parents, children and young people). See here for more details.
