Luigi Iannacci will explore problematic discourses, practices, and pedagogies that inform how disability is presently understood and responded to within the field of education. He will interrogate the narratives that dominate every aspect of how disability is linguistically, bureaucratically, procedurally, and pedagogically configured within education. His research and work aim to forward human rights for people with disabilities in educational contexts by clarifying and operationalizing inclusion so that it is not just a model necessitated by a hierarchy of legality, but rather a set of beliefs and practices based on critical analyses and a reconceptualization of current understandings and responses to disability that prevent inclusion and human rights from being realized.
