ABSTRACT
This chapter presents some closing thoughts of the concepts discussed in this book. The book explains how individuals do challenge reductive ignorance, whether of fundamentalism, neo-colonialism, the mass media or neo-liberalism; and even of particular scientistic mind sets, where the complexity of the other's dis-ease is lost within the single dot on the scatter plot of randomised control trials. The Munro Report meticulously chronicled such processes with reference to vulnerable children and their families. The book pervades the normative agendas, to do with the role of narrative in human betterment and in cultivating what the authors might call an educational as well as a political imagination. It focuses on neuroscience, education, literature, cultural and political studies, and a kind of psychosociology, to aid us in the task. The research, for example, is informed not only by careful chronicling of lives but also by an engagement with theoretical and methodological repertoires, in interpreting and representing them.
