Transformative challenges in inclusive education: some considerations from and critical perspective and intersectionality

Resumen

The purpose of this article is to explain why it is necessary to complexify the meaning of inclusion in education from the transformations that should guide school education, due to the fact that inclusion is increasingly seen as a politically correct language. In this sense, a set of arguments is presented that analyzes the importance of intersectionality as a harmonizing element in research on inclusive education. These contribute to overcome the diffuse conception of inclusion from its emancipatory capacity to understand the local reality. The descriptive documentary review method and critical analysis were used to support this articulation, oriented from a critical perspective, away from marginal identities, from the practice derived from prescriptions, from short sighted normativity and from didactic and methodological specificities governed by the traditional model of special education. The results point out the importance of overcoming some errors in the understanding of inclusion. Research in inclusive education, in addition to breaking the canonical linearities of school contexts, needs intersectionality to broaden the gaze, the forms and objects used to look at the other, highlighting angles that go unnoticed in traditional academic standards.
