Ellen A. Brantlinger: When Meanings Falter and Words Fail, Ideology
Matters celebrates the work of and is dedicated to the memory of
Ellen A. Brantlinger, a scholar-activist who spent most of her
professional career as a professor of special education at Indiana
University in Bloomington, Indiana in the United States of America.
Ellen was recognized internationally as an educator and critical
theorist and celebrated for her incisive and unyielding critique of
special education research, policy, and practice that spanned
several decades. Brantlinger held that the impoverished nature of
special education theory and practice was rooted to conformance
with the most rigid constructs of standardization, normalcy, and
its resulting inequitable outcomes for children with disabilities.
When the push for educational inclusion gained currency in some
quarters in the United States (mid-1980s), Brantlinger was among a
handful of scholars who identified special education as the major
obstacle to the inclusion of disabled students in the educational
system. She was widely published in North American journals well
known in special education, teacher education, multicultural
education, sociology of education, urban education, school
counseling, curriculum theory, qualitative education, and feminist
teaching. This book offers an elaboration of the scholarly
contributions made by Ellen Brantlinger to research in education,
special education, inclusive education, and the early development
of Disability Studies in Education. Many of its contributors move
between the paradigmatic locations of special education, inclusive
education, and disability studies as they consider Ellen's
influence. Contributors are: Julie Allan, Subini A. Annamma,
Jessica Bacon, Alicia A. Broderick, Kathleen M. Collins, David J.
Connor, Dianne L. Ferguson, Philip M. Ferguson, Amy L. Ferrel, Beth
Ferri, Joanne Kim, Janette Klingner, Corrine Li, Brooke A. Moore,
Emily A. Nusbaum, and Janet S. Sauer.
