This book encourages higher education administrators and educators to think in new ways about how to work inclusively with disabled students and examines the way inherent requirements are used in universities to ensure integrity of their academic courses. With the aim of influencing change in higher education policy and practice, the authors explain how inherent requirements, as they are currently deployed, lead to marginalization and discrimination. Moving away from medicalised, deficit-based views, they introduce cutting-edge theories as alternate ways of knowing and engaging with difference in order to advance inclusive higher education policy and practice. This indispensable resource is a key reference for higher education researchers, administrators, and educators.

Identity, power, and positionality play crucial roles in designing and implementing research critically and ethically across marginalized cultures and communities. Through four unique case studies, this book highlights the dilemmas faced by researchers in the field of education, demonstrating how they grapple with the ethics of research and with their role in the process.Re-searching Margins: Ethics, Social Justice and Education attends to research in four specific marginalized communities, whilst also engaging in a wider dialogue about the complex theories, methodologies and practices of ethical research in communities of difference. This book examines ethical research with cultures and communities as an exchange in which both the researcher and the researched bring complex contextual and biographical factors shaped by their histories, identities, and experiences.Drawing on the lives and research of four renowned scholars, this book will be of interest to researchers and policy makers in education who seek to engage ethically and justly with marginalized communities.
