Abstract

Paul Downes has recently published “Reconstructing Agency in Developmental and Educational Psychology: Inclusive Systems as Concentric Space” (Downes, 2020), both as a hardback and as an e-book. This book is part of The Routledge Research in Educational Psychology series, which modestly aims to contributing to develop this field. The author — an Associated Professor of Education (Psychology) at DCU, the Dublin City University — has other published works on the issue, such as Structural Indicators for Developing Inclusive Systems in and around Schools (Downes, Nairz-Wirth, & Rusinaite, 2017).
