As part of The INCLUDE webinar series, this thematic track focuses on inclusive pedagogies and learning environments, with particular attention to neurodiversity and intersectionality in educational contexts. It explores how teaching practices and classroom dynamics can enable or marginalise learners, depending on how difference is recognised and managed.
Key themes include neurodivergence in learning and teaching, colourism, and processes of enablement and disablement understood as intersectional and interactionist phenomena.
At the end of the webinar series, participants who have attended at least 75% of the online sessions will be eligible to take part in an in-person Summer School to be held at the University of Pisa from the 6th to the 10th of July 2026. The Summer School will represent the final component of the programme and is intended to consolidate and further develop the knowledge acquired during the webinars, ensuring continuity and a shared academic foundation among participants.
Learning outcomes
Participants will reflect on how power, identity, and structural inequalities shape classroom experiences, and how inclusive teaching can move beyond accommodation toward genuine educational equity.
