SUMMARY:From Cable Street to beyond the tree house: Inclusion as a singula
 r approach to educational development - Professor Tony Booth\, Affiliated 
 Lecturer\, Faculty of Education
DTSTART:20110309T140000Z
DTEND:20110309T153000Z
UID:TALK29980@talks.cam.ac.uk
CONTACT:Susannah Lacon
DESCRIPTION:I will ground this talk in a formative story from my family\, 
 in which I characterise Cable Street as a stream that feeds the river of m
 y life and the tree house as a metaphor handed to me by a young nephew sta
 nding for deception and how to go beyond it\, for the idea that things are
  always more than they seem. I will trace my concern that inclusion should
  involve putting particular values into action in education and society\, 
 and how these can shape the detail of our practice. I will argue that at t
 he same time\, inclusion involves grappling with the realities of exclusio
 nary pressures\, of learning how with others we can negate\, discriminatio
 n\, oppression and the denial of rights. I will show how a consideration o
 f values allows an alliance to be made with many principled interventions 
 in education in order to produce a singular approach to development. I wil
 l foreground a concern with environmental sustainability\, connected to an
  understanding of profound exclusionary forces\, and examine the implicati
 ons of linking sustainability and other values for what as well as how we 
 teach and learn.
