Sue Pearson is Senior Lecturer at the School of Education, University of Leeds, UK where she co-ordinates the MA (SEN) and the Post Graduate Certificate in Special Educational Needs Coordination. She has lectured and written extensively about inclusive education.

This is an excellent publication that considers the inter relationships of childhood, inclusive education and importantly children's accounts of education. The chapters are wide ranging and combine cutting edge scholarship and research with practical application. This book will be of use to researchers, students and childhood practitioners alike. I strongly endorse this publication and am confident it brings new knowledge and reflection on childhood and inclusive education.
