We consider the phenomenology of GMSB models where the lighter stau is the next to lightest supersymmetric particle. In this situation, the dominant signals for supersymmetry are events with two or three high pT τ leptons accompanied by large missing transverse energy. We find that the inclusive two τ -jets signature could be observable at the Tevatron’s Run II, while the inclusive three τ -jet...

This article proposes that the confluence of pressures brought about by school reform efforts worldwide, advances in research and practices pertaining to self-determination and student-directed learning, and new ways of thinking about and conceptualizing disability are requiring us, as educators, to reconsider our historical approaches and intervention models and to move from creating programs ...

Inclusive education, namely the process of providing all learners with equal educational opportunities, is a major challenge for many educational systems worldwide. In order to address this issue, a widely used framework has been developed, namely the Universal Design for Learning (UDL), which aims to provide specific educational design guidelines to ensure accessibility of all learner types to...

Inclusive fitness theory captures how individuals can influence the transmission of their genes to future generations by influencing either their own reproductive success or that of related individuals. This framework is frequently used for studying the way in which natural selection leads to organisms being adapted to their environments. A number of recent papers have criticised this approach,...

The sociology of childhood opens up new perspectives on inclusive practices, as it considers children themselves as actors in their environment. The author aims at expanding this notion to children with special educational needs whose agency often goes unrecognized. At first, this article will clarify notions of inclusive education and special educational needs, and then analyze children’s agen...
