Current major research project:\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\r\n

An Historical Ethnography of the enactment of Rawl\u2019s Theory of Justice as applied to the Education of Learners with Disability in Western Australia<\/span><\/h4>\r\n

Principal Investigators:\u00a0 Chris Forlin & Dianne Chambers<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Summary:<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n

This <\/span>micro-<\/span>historical ethnography provides a review spanning the past half century in Australia of changes to the education of students with disability. Underpinned <\/span>by a constructionist epistemology t<\/span>hrough interviews with the presentism of educators involved in Western Australian education for learners with disability, and <\/span>viewed through an interpretivist lens<\/span>, major elements of change are identified. <\/span>In addition, document analysis of key policies and legislation are undertaken.<\/span> An analytical framework deduced from the work of Rawls is used to reflect upon the changes to discuss the degree that Rawls\u2019 justice as fairness has been enacted in education for learners with disability from 1970 to 2021 in Australia.<\/span><\/p>\r\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
