This book chronicles the professional life of a career-long,
inclusive educator in New York City through eight different stages
in special and general education. Developing a new approach to
research as part of qualitative methodology, David J. Connor merges
the academic genre of autoethnography with memoir to create a
narrative that engages the reader through stories of personal
experiences within the professional world that politicized him as
an educator. After each chapter's narrative, a systematic analytic
commentary follows that focuses on: teaching and learning in
schools and universities; the influence of educational laws;
specific models of disability and how influence educators and
educational researchers; and educational structures and
systems-including their impact on social, political, and cultural
experiences of people with disabilities. This autoethnographic
memoir documents, over three decades, the relationship between
special and general education, the growth of the inclusion
movement, and the challenge of special education as a discrete
academic field. As part of a national group of critical special
educators, Connor describes the growth of counter-theory through
the inception and subsequent growth of DSE as a viable academic
field, and the importance of rethinking human differences in new
ways.
