What special education is, how it should be organised, and for whom it is intended remain as unresolved questions. Throughout 12 chapters, this book provides a space for authors representing different positions and perspectives to explore their approach to special education. The purpose of this book is to navigate contested views that currently exist within special education and explore ways in which different research traditions with a shared interest in special education can benefit from dialogue and sharing perspectives. Based on this, the anthology asks: what potential outcomes may emerge from taking a participant position in discussions between actors representing different views about the identity and practices of special education?
