"In her renowned and provocative essay, The Crisis in Education , Hannah Arendt observed that a 'crisis becomes a disaster only when we respond to it with preformed judgements, that is, with prejudices'. Taken as a whole, Arendt's work provides an enduring provocation to think and to make judgements about education and the issues that impact on it, such as political, economic and cultural disruption and uncertainty. Drawing together the leading thinkers on Arendtian ideas and education, this collection explores the role and promise education can have in preparing the future generation to understand, to think about and to act within the world. Concluding the same essay on the crisis in education, Arendt declared education to be the point at which love for the world meets love for those who are newcomers to it. The authors respond to Arendt's call for responsibility and authority in education, providing a leading edge thinking, analysis and agenda setting for public education systems and the world in dark times."--

Who is to be included in educational research? How might the researched be included within educational research practices? Why does it matter that educational research practices should be inclusive and not exclusionary? This article draws on Martin Buber's philosophy of dialogue to critique reductive and specialist answers to these questions and, more positively, to advance a conception of inclusive research as educative practice. In Buber's thinking there are ideas that might guide educational researchers beyond the lure of both research that is conducted on individuals, held at an exclusionary distance, and measured in accordance with established methods, and research that is for individuals identified as political allies, so their research might be conducted with the researched. Inclusive educational research should itself be educative, the article concludes, but this education provides researchers with neither easy nor definitive answers to questions relating to who their research should include, how they might be included and why their inclusion matters, since this is an education that must be lived.
