The chapters discuss the role of education; the relationship between teaching and learning; the impact of gender, faith and ethics in educational settings; the construction of rich learning environments; and notions of normalcy, difference and disability. Contributors employ phenomenology; post-structuralism; psychoanalysis, discursive psychology, social constructionism, narrative psychology and disability studies theory, among other theoretical resources.
