RE-IMAGINING INCLUSIVE RESEARCH AND PRACTICE: A FOCUS ON BOURDIEU'S CONCEPTS OF HABITUS, CAPITAL, DOXA AND FIELD.

The past three decades have witnessed an upsurge in inclusive education research and practice informed by a variety of epistemologies. This chapter is set against the backdrop of contemporary theorising of inclusive education research and practice. The key focus is to discuss the habitus, capital, doxa and field concepts of Pierre Bourdieu and their place in previous, present and future inclusive education scholarship. In the light of this undertaking, the chapter makes contribution to knowledge in terms of making theory visible through practice. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
