- Demonstrates the inseparability of categories such as gender, sexuality, race, ethnicity, class, ability, disability, special needs
- Develops tools for understanding the relationships between schools, subjectivities, and students as learners
- Works across national contexts to show the wide applicability of these tools
- Problematises narrow understandings of inclusion found in contemporary policy
- Explores a new politics for interrupting educational inequalities
