ISBN: 9783034317856 / Angielski / Miękka / 283 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. It may seem self-evident that a democratic society ought to develop inclusive institutions and an inclusive educational system, yet when we try to define what we understand by inclusion, its complexity becomes apparent.

What do we mean by the concept? What normative assumptions underpin discourses of inclusion? What happens when we fail to think about the...
