(This blog was originally written and published as my research journal. The following description has been preserved as written at the time.)

Objectives

Since I started this journal it was intended to be an online record of my MPhil/PhD course, from my point of view as a novice researcher. I have registered notes from readings, lectures, meetings, supervision records and personal impressions during the whole process. After three years of activity, this online journal has proven to be a great companion in my journey and an amazing source of learning experiences.

From now on another goal is incorporated to the existing list. I hope to develop here opportunities for sharing experiences and impressions with those whom I may invite to visit this journal. In fact, it is more a hope than an objective though.

Inclusive thoughts – the title

The journal is named after the idea of reflecting about education in an inclusive approach. Inclusive thoughts, in this sense, is a space to think, rethink, discuss, share, learn, develop ideas, ask questions,  search for answers and for new questions, and keep on learning, contributing, moving on.

Actively seeking inclusive education in a biographical age – the [original] subtitle / tagline

The journal subtitle is an expression coined as a paraphrase which embraces an amalgam of the essence of three book titles, which focuses in ideas that connect with the purposes of the research. The three titles which inspired the paraphrasing are:

• Actively Seeking Inclusion: Insiders, Outsiders and Deciders (Studies in Inclusive Education)
• Theories of Inclusive Education: A Student’s Guide
• Researching Life Stories: Method, Theory and Analyses in a Biographical Age
