The rapid advancement of artificial intelligence (AI) and emerging technologies presents a transformative opportunity for the field of education by fostering greater inclusivity and accessibility. AI-powered tools can personalize learning experiences, adapting to the unique needs of students with diverse learning styles, abilities and backgrounds. Emerging technologies can provide immersive and interactive experiences that break down barriers for students with disabilities or those in remote or underserved areas. These technologies have the potential to create a more equitable educational environment, ensuring that all learners, regardless of their circumstances, have the opportunity to succeed. Fostering Inclusive Education With AI and Emerging Technologies explores how these technologies can be leveraged to foster inclusive education, ensuring equitable learning opportunities for all students, regardless of their physical, cognitive, or socio-economic status. It discusses the integration of AI tools to personalize learning experiences, the use of virtual and augmented reality for immersive learning environments, and the implementation of blockchain for secure and transparent educational records. Covering topics such as adaptive learning environments, mobile technologies, and inclusive education, this book is an excellent resource for educators, academicians, researchers, scholars, instructors, instructional designers, pre-service teachers, and more.

Global Directions in Inclusive Education pushes the conceptual boundaries of ‘inclusive education’ and explores new ways to research and envision inclusion and diversity in education for all children. This pioneering book problematizes ‘inclusive education’ as a global currency, as another form of deficit-thinking, and as a universal application. The expert team of international contributors argue that much of the field of inclusive education needs a reinvigoration of new ideas, critical introspection, and ways of knowing that can overcome the well-worn deficit paths of inclusive education study, namely: ‘barriers’ to inclusion, teacher attitudes, policy-practice gaps, lack of resources, and lack of teacher training. Seeking diverse ways forward that represent new visions and innovations from around the world, this text features voices and ideas from both early career and established scholars, to enliven debate and promote a more positive and productive dialogue. Global Directions in Inclusive Education is ideal for students, researchers, and scholars of inclusive education; development practitioners seeking new ideas; and practitioners seeking to gain a deeper and more global understanding of inclusive education both in theory and in practice.

The world ecological system is marked by difference throughout. There is social difference with different identities, shifting and transmuting, being forged, and extra-human differences. All these have implications for intra human and human/non-human earth relations. This aspect is not always recognised and valorised. Education, though not an independent variable, still can be mobilised, together with other sources of potential transformation, to redress this situation marked by aggressions, micro and macro, inertia and indifference. It represents a number of immediate challenges for Adult Education. This compendium is intended as a useful resource in this regard. It maps out a kaleidoscope of myriad differences and suggests options for overcoming the various obstacles that stand opposed to those who seek fulfilment in the way they are discursively located. The obstacles are a dent on efforts to living in communion with the rest of the cosmos. The utopian view is that of different species living in harmony with each other. This book emphasises social/ecological justice, intersectionality and relationality as the targets for Adult Education in this relatively still new millennium.
