Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingChapterpeer-review

Abstract

The purpose of this chapter is to demonstrate, through our critical analysis of the debate surrounding the overrepresentation of BIPOC students in special education, that researching dis/Ability at the nexus of race and other markers of difference is inevitably a moral, spiritual and therefore political act.
