ABSTRACT

In addition, whilst inclusion embeds principles such as ‘empowerment, emancipation and equity’ (Argyropoulos and Nikolaraizi, 2009: 140), it is understood that these can be problematic principles producing tensions for practitioners and researchers in terms of who it is that is empowered, emancipated or included, and the impact that this may have on the inclusive experiences of others. This clearly, therefore, has implications for the researcher and for the development of research methodologies appropriate for exploring a complex construct such as inclusion.
