Critical Discussions about Social Inclusion is an AALL-sponsored Forum which has been organised to provide an opportunity for academic and professional staff to critically reflect on the debates, stories, practices and policy surround the ‘new’ social inclusion agenda in higher education.

This free Forum will bring together key thinkers in higher education to critically reflect on aspects of the inclusivity agenda.
