Inclusive education in the Asia Indo-Pacific region

The International Journal of Inclusive Education provides a meeting place for people to engage in dialogue about inclusive education, with the aim of dismantling forms of exclusion that people experience across education sectors. We, as researchers, work in partner- ship with teams of international educators and researchers and acknowledge that local interpretations of inclusive education are influenced and intersected by ‘ racial, class, caste, sexuality and gender identities, knowledge systems, cultures, ethnicities, and abilities ’ (Kozleski, Artiles, and Waitoller 2014, 231). We hope to deepen a shared understanding of how progress towards more inclusive education is enacted in cultural, historical, economic, geographical, and political contexts to progress greater equity in education..
