Background: Every person has the right to be included. Various factors lead to exclusion of some members of our society. It is time we challenged exclusion. Whilst there has been much debate about the nature of inclusion and its development in educational and social terms, we still have an inadequate understanding of those conditions and factors that result in individuals or groups of people being excluded. Across the globe, there are people who feel marginalised or have been excluded because of their disability, poverty, colour, caste, class, tribe, religion, sexuality, gender and such other factors. Advocates of a more inclusive society and researchers in the field have at times become factionalised; often looking at single issues rather than recognising that exclusion is multifaceted and that there is an interconnection between many of these discriminatory features. For example, those living in poverty are more likely to have acquired disabilities; those from various marginalised groups are less likely to have proper access to support for learning. The inter-play between negative factors has led to the use of deficit language which has viewed individuals as suitable subjects for study based upon a narrow interpretation of the factors that impact their lives. This conference will make a difference! This conference will bring together researchers and activists with experience in working directly with people through projects or within organisations that challenge the marginalisation of individuals and groups who have been assigned negative or deficit labels. Participants will be encouraged to engage with current issues and to debate these in a forum that is both critical and supportive. Conference Format: Key note speakers of international and Indian national repute will provide an overview of major issues and influential factors related to aspects of exclusion and how these might be addressed. Three distinct Strands have been identified to allow for parallel sessions (Sub Themes) Exclusionary factors in education Exclusionary factors in health Exclusionary factors in social welfare and employment Call for Papers: For those who have worked on the above themes and are eager to share their research work, here is an opportunity. If you wish to participate in the conference and present research papers on any of the above themes, you may submit the abstract in the attached format to reach us on or before 8th September 2017. After scrutiny for selection of the paper for presentation, the prospective presenter will be intimated. The presenter has to then send the full text paper in a prescribed style that will be intimated later, as there is a proposal to initiate a journal on inclusion in which the papers that are found fit after a peer review will be published. Interested presenters may please work on the Abstract. Let us challenge exclusion! 2
