*CFP* "THE EFFICACY OF POLICIES, THEORIES AND ACTIONS TO SUPPORT THE INCLUSION OF REFUGEES", INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF INCLUSIVE EDUCATION

The International Journal of Inclusive Education will be publishing a “special issue” entitled, The efficacy of policies, theories and actions to support the inclusion of refugees. This special issue invites contributions on human flows from a policy, theoretical and practical aspect. It is less concerned with definitional matters; who are we to decide politically, morally and ethically who has the right to flee. The issue looks away from the much-debated causes of massive refugee movements and looks to the efficacy and assessment of actions directed towards inclusion. 

Some suggested topics are:

• Globally differentiated and shared refugee policies of inclusion,
• In terms of specific areas, the practice of language, literacy, numeracy and ICT in education, health, employment and well-being are topics of particular interest, 
• The role of cultural and inter-cultural practices of sensitivity and appropriateness, 
• The inter-relationship between different professions working with refugees, 
• Methodologies generating resources to facilitate and support the practice of inclusion.

This issue will be published in 2019. The special issue will comprise 6 to 12 papers depending upon the level of interest. Papers will be subject to anonymous peer review according to the journal’s requirements for scholarly contributions. Details of the journal’s publishing style.

Expressions of interest should be forwarded to Dr. Marta Pinto at mpinto@fpce.up.pt by July 30th, 2018. Expressions of interest must comprise the title of the proposed journal paper, the names, affiliations and contact details for the author/s and an abstract that should not exceed 300 words including 3-6 key words. The abstract should be sent in file format .doc or .docx. The deadline for the final paper is November 30th 2018.
