Sommario/riassunto

"Intimatescholarship" refers to qualitative methodologies, such as self-study and autoethnography, that directly engage the personal experience, knowledge, and/or practices of the researcher(s) as the focus ofinquiry. While intimate scholarship offers entry points into non-binary thinking by blurring the line between researcher/researched, much work in this genre continues to reinforce a humanist "I". In this volume, we ask what happens when the researcher in forms of intimate scholarship is decentered, or is considered as merely one part of an entangled material-discursive formation. Chapters in this volume highlight ways that researchers of teaching and teacher education can advance conversations in education while exploring theories with an ontological view of the world as fundamentally multiple, dynamic, and fluid. Drawing on a range of methods, authors "put to work" posthuman, non-linear, and multiplistic theories and concepts to disrupt and decenter the "I" in intimate methodologies. Also featured in this volume are conversations with leading posthuman scholars, who highlight the possibilities and challenges of decentering the researcher inintimate scholarship as a practice of social justice research.

Sommario/riassunto

Intellectual disability occurs with a frequency of 1-3% within the general population. This impairment is frequently associated with additional features like multiple congenital anomalies and facial dysmorphisms. This book presents current research in the management, causes and social perceptions of mental retardation. Topics include chromosomal regions with a high diagnostic impact in mental retardation syndromes; psychosocial and psychopharmacological treatment of comorbid aggression in pediatric mental retardation; caring for children with Williams and Smith-Magenis syndromes; and cognitive skills enhancement in mental retardation.
